Because %s is the specifier for a C-string, and "a", "b" are Swift strings.

Use the %@ specifier as you would for NSString, or use a string interpolation
expression:
let s = “\(a) → \(b)”
If you absolutely must use %2s, the following works too (in a playground):
let s = String(format: "%2s → %2s", ("a" as NSString).utf8String!, ("b"
as NSString).utf8String!)
but that’s a lot of ugly.
