      Please Use CODE Tags   31 Jan 2016

      Welcome to the Programming and Software Design Section,

      When asking for help with programming issues, please use the code tags to enclose your code, it makes things much more easily readable for the people trying to help you, thus improving your chances of actually getting help.
        To add code tags, click the <> button on the editor toolbar, then enter your code in the code editor that appears. If you are on a mobile device, or prefer to use BBCode, you can use [code] // Your code here // It will be syntax highlighted, though not necessarily corectly. [/code] (but the code editor is more consistent and less buggy).

I cannot afford a macbook but I want to learn swift programming language. I have a 32bit Ubuntu Budgie Dell laptop. Is it possible to do swift programming there ? Or even on windows 10 ?

AFAIK Xcode only runs on mac.

Ryzen 5 1400 @ 3.9 Ghz  |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD
Inside some old case I found lying around.

Sure, run a VM of MacOS, program from there

Swift has officially support on Ubuntu for a couple of years now:

https://swift.org/download/

 

I've not used Swift so I'm not sure about the quality of the development environment on Ubuntu (but its probably better on macOS).

I've been an iOS Programmer for a couple years now. Swift is officially supported on Ubuntu, but you'll have a heck of a time getting it to actually work well. Depending on your use case this may be ok. I'd suggest either trying to find an older MacMini that would support it natively, or trying to build a hackintosh. Goodluck!

There’s a tutorial on apples website but you won’t get to try it.

I mean you can technically learn the basics on anything even notepad or physical paper... It really depends on what your looking to get out of it.

First, you'll want to be running 64-bit Ubuntu if you want to write anything in 64-bit code, which is kind of a big deal in 2018, since all modern OS's are running in 64-bit mode now. There are plenty of guides on the internet if you simply Google for "swift ubuntu" so I linked the first few below.

Thanks. I'll see if If I could just install a 64bit processor on that laptop.

Don't forget swift will natively compile down to either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the architecture of the machine. An Int in swift will be whatever size the PC can hold. If you NEED one or the other you have to use Int32/Int64.
