What is Capturing Values & Memory Mgmt.?

Closures capture references to the variables and constants from their surrounding context. When a closure captures a class instance, it holds a strong reference by default, which can create retain cycles if the instance also holds the closure. Capture lists using [weak self] or [unowned self] break these cycles and are a required pattern in iOS Swift development.
