}
}
// Create an instance of the class
let myCar = Car(make: "Toyota", model: "Corolla", year: 2020)

var area: Double {
return length * width
}
// Method
func displayDimensions() {
print("Length: \(length), Width: \(width)")
}
}
// Create an instance of the class
let myRectangle = Rectangle(length: 10.0, width: 5.0)
// Access computed property
print("Area of the rectangle is \(myRectangle.area)")
// Call a method
myRectangle.displayDimensions()
```
Explanation: - Computed properties provide a getter and optionally a setter to compute values.

Object Wrap Up Drill:
### Swift Simulation: Cat Chasing Mice
Below is a simple object-oriented Swift simulation where a cat chases three mice, but the mice always escape.
The simulation will include classes for the Cat and the Mouse, and a method to simulate the chase.
```swift
// Define a class for Mouse
class Mouse {
var name: String
var escaped: Bool
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
self.escaped = true
}
func escape() {
if escaped {
print("\(name) has escaped!")
}
}
}
// Define a class for Cat
class Cat {
var name: String
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
}
func chase(mouse: Mouse) {
print("\(name) is chasing \(mouse.name)...")
mouse.escape()
}
}
// Create instances of Mouse
let mouse1 = Mouse(name: "Mickey")
let mouse2 = Mouse(name: "Jerry")
let mouse3 = Mouse(name: "Stuart")
// Create an instance of Cat
let cat = Cat(name: "Whiskers")
// Simulate the chase
cat.chase(mouse: mouse1)
cat.chase(mouse: mouse2)
cat.chase(mouse: mouse3)
```
### Explanation:
1. **Mouse Class**:
- **Properties**: `name` (name of the mouse), `escaped` (boolean indicating if the mouse escaped).
- **Initializer**: Sets the name and initializes `escaped` to `true`.
- **Method**: `escape()`, which prints a message indicating the mouse has escaped.
2. **Cat Class**:
- **Properties**: `name` (name of the cat).
- **Initializer**: Sets the name of the cat.
- **Method**: `chase(mouse: Mouse)`, which prints a message indicating the cat is chasing the mouse and then calls the mouse's `escape()` method.
3. **Instances**:
- Three instances of the `Mouse` class (`mouse1`, `mouse2`, `mouse3`).
- One instance of the `Cat` class (`cat`).
4. **Simulation**:
- The cat chases each mouse by calling the `chase(mouse:)` method, and each mouse escapes.
You can run this code in the [Swift Playground IDE](https://online.swiftplayground.run/) or any other Swift development environment to see the simulation in action. The output will show the cat chasing each mouse, followed by a message that the mouse has escaped.
