Swift encourages the use of descriptive names instead of single letters. From the Swift book [1]: > In most cases, type parameters have descriptive names, such as Key and > Value in Dictionary<Key, Value> and Element in Array<Element>, which > tells the reader about the relationship between the type parameter and > the generic type or function it’s used in. However, when there isn’t a > meaningful relationship between them, it’s traditional to name them > using single letters such as T, U, and V, such as T in the > swapTwoValues(_:_:) function above. So I've used my judgement here a bit and renamed some things and left some as single letters. [1] https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-programming-language/generics/
