Xcode 6, Swift - read standard input (console) to

Question

I am new to Objective-C and XCode and I'm trying to learn something new. Is there any way to read string from stdin using swift ? Something like cin in C++ ?

Just as with Objective-C, you can use NSFileHandle:

let standardInput = NSFileHandle.fileHandleWithStandardInput()
let input = standardInput.availableData
