Hey, Benjamin

for in loops are now mandatory in the newest version of Swift, because the old-fashioned for i=0;i<x;i++ method is deprecated.

Let's see what for in loop does taking by example:

for fruit in fruits{
   print(fruit)
}

*Fruits = Array of String with fruit names

This loops means: "For each FRUIT NAME (STRING) stored in the FRUITS (ARRAY->STRING), do the code inside the brackets.". Thus, the loop is processing the code inside the brackets for each object inside your array, and you can manipulate the current object like we did printing it.

Is there ok now? Hope it helps you understanding it.
