📔 100 Days of SwiftUI (Day 14)

Finished Day 14 in 100 Days of SwiftUI.

This section covers optionals to handle nil, a nullable type. This option type is for values that might be missing or otherwise undefined, which is important for proper error handling in code. I also learned how you can combine optional chaining with ??, the nil-coalescing operator, to construct precise and succinct logic statements. I like it!

As a type-safe language, optionals seem to be an important mechanism to catch and fix errors early in the development process, which should result in more robust and safe code.
