Is SWAP used when suspending a computer

Question

I know that SWAP is used when putting a computer into hibernation.

But is SWAP used when the computer is suspended?

No, nothing is added to swap. Of course, if there's already stuff in swap, then it will stay there, but you don't need swap space to suspend.
