## Overview
The **`description` property** of a String instance in Swift is used to return the value of a string.
## Syntax
```swift
string.description
```
## Return value
This property returns the value of the string `string`.
## Code example

// create some strings
let name = "Theodore"
let language = "Swift"
let emptyString = ""

// get description property
let des1 = name.description
let des2 = language.description
let des3 = emptyString.description

// print results
print(des1) // Theodore
print(des2) // Swift
print(des3) // nil

## Code explanation
* **Lines 2–4**: We create some string values.
* **Lines 7–9**: We get the `description` properties of the strings we created.
* **Lines 12–14**: We print the results to the console.
