Programmatically changing size of 1 subview in UIStackView

I am currently making a calculator and want to change the size of my 0 button to the size of 2 subviews - which is half the size of the entire view. I want it to look exactly like apples calculator app, where the 0 is bigger than all the other buttons.
The way i layout my view is by having a vertical UIStackView and adding horizontal UIStackView's to it, just like the picture below. enter image description here

Therefore, i want the last horizontal stack to have 3 arranged subviews but make the 0 button fill the exceeding space, so the , and = buttons are the same size as all other buttons.

Thank you.

Programmatically, you could set multiplier with constraint(equalTo:multiplier:), official docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/nslayoutdimension/1500951-constraint

So we could constraint the last two button with same width and make the first one two times longer than one of the other two.

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()


        view.backgroundColor = .white

        let btn1 = UIButton()
        let btn2 = UIButton()
        let btn3 = UIButton()

        btn1.backgroundColor = .red
        btn2.backgroundColor = .yellow
        btn3.backgroundColor = .blue

        let hStack = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [btn1, btn2, btn3])
        hStack.axis = .horizontal
        hStack.spacing = 1

        view.addSubview(hStack)
        hStack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        hStack.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
        hStack.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
        hStack.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true

        // Here would be what you need:
        btn2.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: btn3.widthAnchor).isActive = true
        btn1.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: btn2.widthAnchor, multiplier: 2).isActive = true
    }

You can use stackview.distribution = .fillEquallly for first 4 horizontal stackviews and use stackview.distribution = .fillPropotionally for the last horizontal stackview.

Then set with constraint for the 0 button to 50% of last horizontal stackview's width.
