Hi Everyone,

I'm working through the text of Hacking with iOS: SwiftUI Edition but am confused about this technique (for easier reference it's also posted on this page: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/books/ios-swiftui/manually-publishing-observableobject-changes)

In the technique project this line of code is inside a for / in loop like this:

init() { for i in 1...10 { DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + Double(i)) { self.value += 1 } } }

If the value of i is incremented by 1 each time the loop runs, why isn't the "dispatch" happening later and later each time. In other words, I was expecting the code to run 1 second later, then after a two second delay, then after a three second delay, etc. all the way to the final pass happening after a ten second delay when i ultimately becomes 10.

I hope that made sense. I appreciate any insight.

Hi @jimdube,

The reason is that to run the for loop take no time at all (milliseconds), however the closure wait in the background(async) for 1...10 seconds to complete.

Hope that clear.
