How does this work? Usually you have to set the variable equal to something. But here you are just making a variable and we assume that swift will fill it with the APIResult? Is it some kind of syntactic sugar? Not quite sure what to google to read about this.

When you do this, you are "initializing an empty variable" to be used as some point later on. Swift won't "fill in the data" by itself, at some point there will be code that will add a value to the current empty variable.
Try searching "Empty variables in Swift" or "Initialize an empty variable in Swift"
Keep Coding! :)
