You can also set and modify the initial value for a stored property during initialization. This is true even for constant stored properties, as described in Assigning Constant Properties During Initialization.” (Classes and Structures / Stored Properties)

You can assign the value of an as-yet-unassigned ‘let’ property, once. If that happens in the default initialization phase (before any initializer methods run), then you’ve used up that chance. The initializer would be setting a second value, which isn’t allowed.

Read up on the phases of initialization in the Swift book.
