# friction

The linear resistance for the behavior’s dynamic items when two slide against each other.

```
var friction: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Discussion

Default value is `0.0`, which corresponds to no friction. Use a value of `1.0` to apply strong friction. To apply an even stronger friction, you can use higher numbers.
