Examples:
var x:Int = none // uninitialized but not an optional
print(x) // run-time error as x is uninitialized
if x == nil { … } // compile time error… x can never be nil because it is not an optional
if x == none { x = 2 } // … but it can be uninitialized
Optionals can also be uninitialized:
var y:Int? = none // uninitialized and an optional
if y == nil { … } // run-time error as y is uninitialized
y = nil
if y == nil { … } // fine
