ios - Swift initializer doesn't return value? -

swift documentation says.

unlike objective-c initializers, swift initializers not return value.

please explain below syntax.

let instanceofstring = string() 

it initialize string object calling initializer , return it. value assigned instanceofstring. isn't it?

the swift documentation refers syntax of type's init methods.

the syntax omits return type in signature , method not contain return statement:

init() { } 

obviously the call of initializer (string()) return value. difference objective-c init method in pure swift types not free return different object target of method—it's implicitly allocated instance of target type.

the exception it's possible return nil in failable initializers.
