Associated Types
Index : ReverseIndexType, ForwardIndexType
Base : CollectionType
Generator : GeneratorType = IndexingGenerator<Self>

A type that provides the sequence's iteration interface and encapsulates its iteration state.

By default, a CollectionType satisfies SequenceType by supplying an IndexingGenerator as its associated Generator type.

SubSequence : Indexable, SequenceType = Slice<Self>

A SequenceType that can represent a contiguous subrange of self's elements.

Note: this associated type appears as a requirement in SequenceType, but is restated here with stricter constraints: in a CollectionType, the SubSequence should also be a CollectionType.

Instance Variables

var count: Self.Index.Distance

Returns the number of elements.

Complexity: O(1) if Index conforms to RandomAccessIndexType; O(N) otherwise.

Declaration

var count: Self.Index.Distance { get }

Declared In
