title: Why do enums have computed properties but not stored properties in Swift?
body: <p>I am new to Swift and just came across this in the documentation:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Computed properties are provided by classes, structures, and
    enumerations. Stored properties are provided only by classes and
    structures.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Why is that? Do associated values for enum work like stored properties? It seems like they had stored properties initially - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24029581/why-no-stored-type-properties-for-classes-in-swift">Why no stored type properties for classes in swift?</a></p>
