In the XCode Playground editor, there is result views at the right hand side after the code is executed in playground. I notice that some of the displayed variable values has a description "fixed". What does "fixed" mean in this context?
Thank you!
I think posting some code can make what I am referring to clear:
It did indeed. Thanks.
In this context, the
(fixed)Calendarimport Foundation
let cal = Calendar.autoupdatingCurrentIt logs
gregorian (autoupdatingCurrent)CalendarAn auto-updating calendar tracks user settings. For example, if the user goes to Settings > General > Language & Region > Calendar and changes their calendar, the auto-updating calendar will start returning results based on that new calendar.
A fixed calendar is… well… fixed. Once you create a calendar value, it will continue return results based on that calendar, regardless of any user settings changes.

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@apple.com"I’m not entirely sure what you’re getting at here, so some questions:
Are all the variables that exhibit this behaviour of the same type?
What type (or types) are they?

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@apple.com"Hi eskimo
I think posting some code can make what I am referring to clear:
// create calendar
var calGreg: Calendar
calGreg = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
var calBudd: Calendar
calBudd = Calendar(identifier: .buddhist)
After running in the playground, the result displayed at the right hand side for the two assignment statements are:
gregorian (fixed)
buddhist (fixed)
I am just wondering what does the "(fixed)" indicate.
Thank you.
