Heads up... You've reached locked video content where the transcript will be shown as obfuscated text.

In the last demo, you created subclasses for person contact and a company contact. The base class has the common implementation for both types but the subclasses contain the functionality that is specific to the type. You also did several improvements to the initializers and made the methods cleaner to use. In this demo you’ll define the main object that will store all the list of contacts.

public class ContactsBook {
  public var contactsList: [ContactCard] = []

  public init() {}
}
var contactsBook = ContactsBook()
contactsBook.contactsList.append(ehabContact)
contactsBook.contactsList.append(timContact)
contactsBook.contactsList.append(kodeco)
contactsBook.contactsList.append(otherCompany)
contactsBook.contactsList.removeAll()
public func saveContact(contact: ContactCard) {
  contactsList.append(contact)
}
private var contactsList: [ContactCard] = []
contactsBook.saveContact(contact: ehabContact)
contactsBook.saveContact(contact: timContact)
contactsBook.saveContact(contact: kodeco)
contactsBook.saveContact(contact: razeware)
public static var current = ContactsBook()
// var contactsBook = ContactsBook() // You don't need this anymore

ContactsBook.current.saveContact(contact:ehabContact)
ContactsBook.current.saveContact(contact:timContact)
ContactsBook.current.saveContact(contact:kodeco)
ContactsBook.current.saveContact(contact:otherCompany)
