func enumerate()

Returns a lazy SequenceType containing pairs (n, x), where ns are consecutive Ints starting at zero, and xs are the elements of base:

> for (n, c) in "Swift".characters.enumerate() {
    print("\(n): '\(c)'")

3: 'f'
4: 't'

func filter(_:)

Returns the elements of self that satisfy predicate.

Note: The elements of the result are computed on-demand, as the result is used. No buffering storage is allocated and each traversal step invokes predicate on one or more underlying elements.

Declaration

Declared In

func flatMap<T>(_: (Generator.Element) throws -> T?)

Complexity: O(M + N), where M is the length of self and N is the length of the result.

func flatMap<T>(@noescape transform: (Generator.Element) throws -> T?) rethrows -> [T]

Declared In

SequenceType
func flatMap<S : SequenceType>(_: (Generator.Element) throws -> S)

s.flatMap(transform)

is equivalent to

LazySequenceType
func forEach(_:)

Call body on each element in self in the same order as a for-in loop.

sequence.forEach {
  // body code
}

is similar to:

for element in sequence {
  // body code
}

Note: You cannot use the break or continue statement to exit the current call of the body closure or skip subsequent calls. Note: Using the return statement in the body closure will only exit from the current call to body, not any outer scope, and won't skip subsequent calls.

Complexity: O(self.count)

Declaration

func forEach(@noescape body: (Generator.Element) throws -> Void) rethrows

Declared In

SequenceType
func lexicographicalCompare(_:isOrderedBefore:)

Requires: isOrderedBefore is a strict weak ordering over the elements of self and other.

Declaration

func lexicographicalCompare<OtherSequence : SequenceType where OtherSequence.Generator.Element == Generator.Element>(other: OtherSequence, @noescape isOrderedBefore: (Generator.Element, Generator.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> Bool

Declared In

SequenceType
func map(_:)

Declared In

LazySequenceType, SequenceType

Declared In

SequenceType
func split(_:allowEmptySlices:isSeparator:)

Returns the maximal SubSequences of self, in order, that don't contain elements satisfying the predicate isSeparator.

maxSplit: The maximum number of SubSequences to return, minus 1. If maxSplit + 1 SubSequences are returned, the last one is a suffix of self containing the remaining elements. The default value is Int.max.

allowEmptySubsequences: If true, an empty SubSequence is produced in the result for each pair of consecutive elements satisfying isSeparator. The default value is false.

Requires: maxSplit >= 0

Declaration

func split(maxSplit: Int = default, allowEmptySlices: Bool = default, @noescape isSeparator: (Generator.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> [AnySequence<Generator.Element>]
