View the detailed result of an executed statement in a popover Quick Look preview or by adding a results view to the playground page. Some results can be viewed in different ways. For example, the set of results for a number variable in a loop can be viewed as a graph of the values for each iteration of the loop, a set of values for each iteration, or the value of the last iteration.
Move the pointer along the right edge of the sidebar to show the Quick Look button for a result.
Click the button to see the result’s value displayed in an appropriate representation.
