To run Swift code that is embedded into a single line terminal command, follow these steps:

  1. Open Terminal on your Mac.

  2. Type the following command to launch the Swift REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop):

    
    swift
    
    
  3. Write the Swift code that you want to run on a single line. For example:

    print("Hello, World!")
    
  4. Press the Enter key to execute the code.

    $ swift
    Welcome to Apple Swift version 4.0.3 (swiftlang-900.0.74.1 clang-900.0.39.2). Type :help for assistance.
    1> print("Hello, World!")
    Hello, World!
    1>
    

    The code will execute and the output will be displayed in the Terminal.

Note: If your Swift code requires multiple lines or needs to import external libraries, it may be more appropriate to create a Swift file and run it from the command line using the swift command.
