Initializer: Object Initialization in Programming

An initializer is a method or function called when an object or data structure is created or instantiated. It's used to initialize the object's properties, set default values, and perform any necessary setup tasks. In object-oriented programming, an initializer is typically defined as a constructor method responsible for initializing an object's state. In Swift, initializers are defined using the 'init' keyword and can have parameters to allow for customized initialization.
