[Question] Where do I find the documentation of built-in functions?

Using Swift
1

I'm new to Swift. Please bear with me.

From reading around the web and the little documentation available on the entirety of open-source Swift, I've found that functions like print and swap exist either in the standard library, Foundation, or it is built-in to the language.

Would you point me to their documentation and list of other functions that are defined like print and swap?

I would like to know what functions are available out of the box so I don't write my own.

Thank you.

The most complete and up-to-date documentation is supplied by Apple here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/

Specific links are as follows--
Standard library: Apple Developer Documentation
Foundation: Apple Developer Documentation

Note that not all Foundation methods documented by Apple are available on Linux.

I think this ressource isn't really kept up-to-date any more, but I find it useful for getting an overview of the Standard Library: http://swiftdoc.org/nightly/

Good point, but there's a "but" to this. ;-) The official Apple developer website not only provides the documentation of the standard library but also the language specification of Swift, whereas swiftdoc.org "only" provides the most recent generated documentation of Swift types and functions.
