# Swift Standard Library
Solve complex problems and write high-performance, readable code.
## Overview
The Swift standard library defines a base layer of functionality for writing Swift
programs, including:
- Fundamental data types such as ``Swift/Int``, ``Swift/Double``, and ``Swift/String``
- Common data structures such as ``Swift/Array``, ``Swift/Dictionary``, and ``Swift/Set``
- Global functions such as ``Swift/print(_:separator:terminator:)`` and ``Swift/abs(_:)``
- Protocols, such as ``Swift/Collection`` and ``Swift/Equatable``, that describe
common abstractions.
- Protocols, such as ``Swift/CustomDebugStringConvertible`` and ``Swift/CustomReflectable``,
that you use to customize operations that are available to all types.
- Protocols, such as ``Swift/OptionSet-protocol``, that you use to provide implementations
that would otherwise require boilerplate code.
> Note: Experiment with Swift standard library types and learn high-level concepts
using visualizations and practical examples. Learn how the Swift standard library
uses protocols and generics to express powerful constraints. Download the playground
below to get started.
