protocol _CollectionType

This protocol is an implementation detail of CollectionType; do not use it directly.

Its requirements are inherited by CollectionType and thus must be satisfied by types conforming to that protocol.

Index : ForwardIndexType

A type that represents a valid position in the collection.

Valid indices consist of the position of every element and a "past the end" position that's not valid for use as a subscript.

_Element
Import import Swift

Instance Variables

var endIndex: Index Required

The collection's "past the end" position.

endIndex is not a valid argument to subscript, and is always reachable from startIndex by zero or more applications of successor().

Declaration

var endIndex: Index { get }
var startIndex: Index Required

The position of the first element in a non-empty collection.

Identical to endIndex in an empty collection.

Declaration

var startIndex: Index { get }

Subscripts

subscript(_: Index) Required

Declaration

subscript(_i: Index) -> _Element { get }
