class Person: NSObject {

  var zip: Int

  init(name: String, email: String, zip: Int) {
    self.name = name
    self.email = email
    self.zip = zip
    super.init()
  }
}

Create data for Person Class

SampleData.swift

let personData = [
  Person(name: "Eric", email: "eric.iacutone@gmail.com", zip: 12345)
]

Instantiating Person Class

PersonViewController.swift

var person:Array = personData

Now, if you copy and paste the the files into a XCode Playground, you can call methods on your person object.

person.count
// 1

person.first?.zip
// 12345

Enums

An enumeration defines a common type for a group of related values and enables you to work with those values in a type-safe way within your code. - Swift docs

Use an enum when you need a consistent data value.

    init() {
      self = .UnitedStates
    }
}

var type = CountryType.UnitedStates.rawValue

// "United States"

Structs

A struct allows you to create a structured data type which provides storage of data using properties and extending its functionality via methods. -Tree House
