I'm trying to understand how Combine works. The following is my sample code. import UIKit import Combine class ViewController: UIViewController { // MARK: - Variables var cancellable: AnyCancellable? // MARK: - IBAction @IBAction func buttonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) { currentValueSubject.send(20) } // MARK: - Life cycle var currentValueSubject = CurrentValueSubject<Int, Never>(1) override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let cancellable = currentValueSubject .sink { value in print("New value: \(value)") } currentValueSubject.send(5) currentValueSubject.send(10) //currentValueSubject.send(completion: .finished) currentValueSubject.send(15) //cancellable.cancel() } } If I run it with the iPhone simulator, I get New value: 1 New value: 5 New value: 10 New value: 15 If I tap the button, the app won't get a new value. I suppose that's because the subscription is cancelled at the end of viewDidLoad? If so, why does it get cancelled? I don't quite see a practical side of Combine's Subject. When is it useful? Thanks.

I have the following lines of code in practicing Combine. import UIKit import Combine class ViewController: UIViewController { // MARK: - Variables var cancellable: AnyCancellable? @Published var segmentNumber: Int = 0 // MARK: - IBOutlet @IBOutlet weak var actionButton: UIButton! // MARK: - IBAction @IBAction func segmentChanged(_ sender: UISegmentedControl) { segmentNumber = sender.selectedSegmentIndex } // MARK: - Life cycle override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() cancellable = $segmentNumber.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main) .assign(to: \.isEnabled, on: actionButton) } } I get an error at .assign that says Value of type 'UIView?' has no member 'isEnabled' What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
