Discover page available: ConcurrencyWant to work on your asynchronous code in a Swift Playground? Just set needsIndefiniteExecution
to true to keep it running:
import PlaygroundSupport
PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 3) {
let greeting = "Hello after 3 seconds"
print(greeting)
}
To stop the playground from executing, simply call PlaygroundPage.current.finishExecution()
