Splitting and Joining Strings (split, joined)

In this lesson you will learn to split and join strings in Swift so you can work with data such as CSV. This is for anyone searching for "Swift split joined how to use".

.split(separator:) breaks a string apart. Going the other way, .joined(separator:) collects an array into a single string. Both come up constantly with CSV-style data.

The sample code splits a comma-separated string with csv.split(separator: ","), then rebuilds it as a slash-separated string with fruits.joined(separator: " / "). Combining the two lets you swap delimiters or strip out unwanted spaces.

A common stumbling block for beginners is what split returns. It hands back an array of Substring rather than plain strings, which limits some string operations and needs care.

In real-world development this pairing appears constantly in real business systems, from reading CSV files to parsing logs.
