Declaration

Creates an integer from its big-endian representation, changing the byte order if necessary.

• Parameter value: A value to use as the big-endian representation of the new integer.

Declaration

Creates a new instance with the same memory representation as the given value.

This initializer does not perform any range or overflow checking. The resulting instance may not have the same numeric value as bitPattern---it is only guaranteed to use the same pattern of bits in its binary representation.

• Parameter x: A value to use as the source of the new instance's binary representation.

Declaration

Creates a new instance with the representable value that's closest to the given integer.

If the value passed as source is greater than the maximum representable value in this type, the result is the type's max value. If source is less than the smallest representable value in this type, the result is the type's min value.

In this example, x is initialized as an Int8 instance by clamping 500 to the range -128...127, and y is initialized as a UInt instance by clamping -500 to the range 0...UInt.max.

let x = Int8(clamping: 500)
// x == 127
// x == Int8.max
 
let y = UInt(clamping: -500)
// y == 0

• Parameter source: An integer to convert to this type.

Declaration

Creates a new instance by decoding from the given decoder.

This initializer throws an error if reading from the decoder fails, or if the data read is corrupted or otherwise invalid.

• Parameter decoder: The decoder to read data from.

Declaration

Creates an integer from its little-endian representation, changing the byte order if necessary.

• Parameter value: A value to use as the little-endian representation of the new integer.

Declaration

Creates a new instance from the bit pattern of the given instance by truncating or sign-extending if needed to fit this type.

When the bit width of T (the type of source) is equal to or greater than this type's bit width, the result is the truncated least-significant bits of source. For example, when converting a 16-bit value to an 8-bit type, only the lower 8 bits of source are used.

let p: Int16 = -500
// 'p' has a binary representation of 11111110_00001100
let q = Int8(truncatingIfNeeded: p)
// q == 12
// 'q' has a binary representation of 00001100

When the bit width of T is less than this type's bit width, the result is sign-extended to fill the remaining bits. That is, if source is negative, the result is padded with ones; otherwise, the result is padded with zeros.

let u: Int8 = 21
// 'u' has a binary representation of 00010101
let v = Int16(truncatingIfNeeded: u)
// v == 21
// 'v' has a binary representation of 00000000_00010101
 
let w: Int8 = -21
// 'w' has a binary representation of 11101011
let x = Int16(truncatingIfNeeded: w)
// x == -21
// 'x' has a binary representation of 11111111_11101011
let y = UInt16(truncatingIfNeeded: w)
// y == 65515
// 'y' has a binary representation of 11111111_11101011

• Parameter source: An integer to convert to this type.

Declaration

Creates a new integer value from the given string.

The string passed as description may begin with a plus or minus sign character (+ or -), followed by one or more numeric digits (0-9).

let x = Int("123")
// x == 123

If description is in an invalid format, or if the value it denotes in base 10 is not representable, the result is nil. For example, the following conversions result in nil:

Int(" 100")                       // Includes whitespace
Int("21-50")                      // Invalid format
Int("ff6600")                     // Characters out of bounds
Int("10000000000000000000000000") // Out of range

• Parameter description: The ASCII representation of a number.

Declaration

Creates a new integer value from the given string and radix.

The string passed as text may begin with a plus or minus sign character (+ or -), followed by one or more numeric digits (0-9) or letters (a-z or A-Z). Parsing of the string is case insensitive.

let x = Int("123")
// x == 123
 
let y = Int("-123", radix: 8)
// y == -83
let y = Int("+123", radix: 8)
// y == +83
 
let z = Int("07b", radix: 16)
// z == 123

If text is in an invalid format or contains characters that are out of bounds for the given radix, or if the value it denotes in the given radix is not representable, the result is nil. For example, the following conversions result in nil:

Int(" 100")                       // Includes whitespace
Int("21-50")                      // Invalid format
Int("ff6600")                     // Characters out of bounds
Int("zzzzzzzzzzzzz", radix: 36)   // Out of range

Declaration

Creates an integer from the given floating-point value, if it can be represented exactly.

If the value passed as source is not representable exactly, the result is nil. In the following example, the constant x is successfully created from a value of 21.0, while the attempt to initialize the constant y from 21.5 fails:

let x = Int(exactly: 21.0)
// x == Optional(21)
let y = Int(exactly: 21.5)
// y == nil

• Parameter source: A floating-point value to convert to an integer.

Declaration

The big-endian representation of this integer.

If necessary, the byte order of this value is reversed from the typical byte order of this integer type. On a big-endian platform, for any integer x, x == x.bigEndian.

Declaration

Declaration

A representation of this integer with the byte order swapped.

Declaration

A mirror that reflects the Int32 instance.

Declaration

A custom playground Quick Look for the Int32 instance.

Declaration

The number of leading zeros in this value's binary representation.

For example, in an integer type with a bitWidth value of 8, the number 31 has three leading zeros.

let x: Int8 = 0b0001_1111
// x == 31
// x.leadingZeroBitCount == 3

Declaration

The little-endian representation of this integer.

If necessary, the byte order of this value is reversed from the typical byte order of this integer type. On a little-endian platform, for any integer x, x == x.littleEndian.

Declaration

The magnitude of this value.

For any numeric value x, x.magnitude is the absolute value of x. You can use the magnitude property in operations that are simpler to implement in terms of unsigned values, such as printing the value of an integer, which is just printing a '-' character in front of an absolute value.

let x = -200
// x.magnitude == 200

The global abs(_:) function provides more familiar syntax when you need to find an absolute value. In addition, because abs(_:) always returns a value of the same type, even in a generic context, using the function instead of the magnitude property is encouraged.

Declaration

The number of bits equal to 1 in this value's binary representation.

For example, in a fixed-width integer type with a bitWidth value of 8, the number 31 has five bits equal to 1.

let x: Int8 = 0b0001_1111
// x == 31
// x.nonzeroBitCount == 5

• Parameter rhs: The value to add to this value.

Declaration

Returns the quotient obtained by dividing this value by the given value, along with a Boolean value indicating whether overflow occurred in the operation.

Dividing by zero is not an error when using this method. For a value x, the result of x.dividedReportingOverflow(by: 0) is (x, true).

• Parameter rhs: The value to divide this value by.

Declaration

Returns a tuple containing the quotient and remainder of dividing the given value by this value.

The resulting quotient must be representable within the bounds of the type. If the quotient of dividing dividend by this value is too large to represent in the type, a runtime error may occur.

• Parameter dividend: A tuple containing the high and low parts of a double-width integer. The high component of the value carries the sign, if the type is signed.

• Parameter hasher: The hasher to use when combining the components of this instance.

Declaration

Returns a tuple containing the high and low parts of the result of multiplying this value by the given value.

Use this method to calculate the full result of a product that would otherwise overflow. Unlike traditional truncating multiplication, the multipliedFullWidth(by:) method returns a tuple containing both the high and low parts of the product of this value and other. The following example uses this method to multiply two UInt8 values that normally overflow when multiplied:

let x: UInt8 = 100
let y: UInt8 = 20
let result = x.multipliedFullWidth(by: y)
// result.high == 0b00000111
// result.low  == 0b11010000

The product of x and y is 2000, which is too large to represent in a UInt8 instance. The high and low properties of the result value represent 2000 when concatenated to form a double-width integer; that is, using result.high as the high byte and result.low as the low byte of a UInt16 instance.

let z = UInt16(result.high) << 8 | UInt16(result.low)
// z == 2000

• Parameter other: The value to multiply this value by.

Declaration

Returns a tuple containing the high and low parts of the result of multiplying this value by the given value.

Use this method to calculate the full result of a product that would otherwise overflow. Unlike traditional truncating multiplication, the multipliedFullWidth(by:) method returns a tuple containing both the high and low parts of the product of this value and other. The following example uses this method to multiply two Int8 values that normally overflow when multiplied:

let x: Int8 = 48
let y: Int8 = -40
let result = x.multipliedFullWidth(by: y)
// result.high == -8
// result.low  == 128

The product of x and y is -1920, which is too large to represent in an Int8 instance. The high and low compnents of the result value represent -1920 when concatenated to form a double-width integer; that is, using result.high as the high byte and result.low as the low byte of an Int16 instance.

let z = Int16(result.high) << 8 | Int16(result.low)
// z == -1920

• Parameter rhs: The value to divide this value by.

Declaration

Returns -1 if this value is negative and 1 if it's positive; otherwise, 0.

Returns the difference obtained by subtracting the given value from this value, along with a Boolean value indicating whether overflow occurred in the operation.

• Parameter rhs: The value to subtract from this value.

Declaration

The number of bits used for the underlying binary representation of values of this type.

The bit width of a Int32 instance is 32.

Declaration

A Boolean value indicating whether this type is a signed integer type.

This property is always true for signed integer types.

Declaration

Returns the remainder of dividing the first value by the second.

The result of the remainder operator (%) has the same sign as lhs and has a magnitude less than rhs.magnitude.

let x = 22 % 5
// x == 2
let y = 22 % -5
// y == 2
let z = -22 % -5
// z == -2

For any two integers a and b, their quotient q, and their remainder r, a == b * q + r.

Declaration

Divides the first value by the second and stores the remainder in the left-hand-side variable.

The result has the same sign as lhs and has a magnitude less than rhs.magnitude.

var x = 22
x %= 5
// x == 2
 
var y = 22
y %= -5
// y == 2
 
var z = -22
z %= -5
// z == -2

Declaration

Returns the result of performing a bitwise AND operation on the two given values.

A bitwise AND operation results in a value that has each bit set to 1 where both of its arguments have that bit set to 1. For example:

let x: UInt8 = 5          // 0b00000101
let y: UInt8 = 14         // 0b00001110
let z = x & y             // 0b00000100
// z == 4

Declaration

Returns the product of the two given values, wrapping the result in case of any overflow.

The overflow multiplication operator (&*) discards any bits that overflow the fixed width of the integer type. In the following example, the product of 10 and 50 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value, so the result is the partial value after discarding the overflowing bits.

let x: Int8 = 10 &* 5
// x == 50
let y: Int8 = 10 &* 50
// y == -12 (after overflow)

For more about arithmetic with overflow operators, see Overflow Operators in The Swift Programming Language.

Declaration

Multiplies two values and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable, wrapping any overflow.

The masking multiplication assignment operator (&*=) silently wraps any overflow that occurs during the operation. In the following example, the product of 10 and 50 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value, so the result is the partial value after discarding the overflowing bits.

var x: Int8 = 10
x &*= 5
// x == 50
var y: Int8 = 10
y &*= 50
// y == -12 (after overflow)

For more about arithmetic with overflow operators, see Overflow Operators in The Swift Programming Language.

Declaration

Returns the sum of the two given values, wrapping the result in case of any overflow.

The overflow addition operator (&+) discards any bits that overflow the fixed width of the integer type. In the following example, the sum of 100 and 121 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value, so the result is the partial value after discarding the overflowing bits.

let x: Int8 = 10 &+ 21
// x == 31
let y: Int8 = 100 &+ 121
// y == -35 (after overflow)

For more about arithmetic with overflow operators, see Overflow Operators in The Swift Programming Language.

Declaration

Adds two values and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable, wrapping any overflow.

The masking addition assignment operator (&+=) silently wraps any overflow that occurs during the operation. In the following example, the sum of 100 and 121 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value, so the result is the partial value after discarding the overflowing bits.

var x: Int8 = 10
x &+= 21
// x == 31
var y: Int8 = 100
y &+= 121
// y == -35 (after overflow)

For more about arithmetic with overflow operators, see Overflow Operators in The Swift Programming Language.

Declaration

Returns the difference of the two given values, wrapping the result in case of any overflow.

The overflow subtraction operator (&-) discards any bits that overflow the fixed width of the integer type. In the following example, the difference of 10 and 21 is less than zero, the minimum representable UInt value, so the result is the partial value after discarding the overflowing bits.

let x: UInt8 = 21 &- 10
// x == 11
let y: UInt8 = 10 &- 21
// y == 245 (after overflow)

For more about arithmetic with overflow operators, see Overflow Operators in The Swift Programming Language.

Declaration

Subtracts the second value from the first and stores the difference in the left-hand-side variable, wrapping any overflow.

The masking subtraction assignment operator (&-=) silently wraps any overflow that occurs during the operation. In the following example, the difference of 10 and 21 is less than zero, the minimum representable UInt value, so the result is the result is the partial value after discarding the overflowing bits.

var x: Int8 = 21
x &-= 10
// x == 11
var y: UInt8 = 10
y &-= 21
// y == 245 (after overflow)

For more about arithmetic with overflow operators, see Overflow Operators in The Swift Programming Language.

Declaration

Returns the result of shifting a value's binary representation the specified number of digits to the left, masking the shift amount to the type's bit width.

Use the masking left shift operator (&<<) when you need to perform a shift and are sure that the shift amount is in the range 0..<lhs.bitWidth. Before shifting, the masking left shift operator masks the shift to this range. The shift is performed using this masked value.

The following example defines x as an instance of UInt8, an 8-bit, unsigned integer type. If you use 2 as the right-hand-side value in an operation on x, the shift amount requires no masking.

let x: UInt8 = 30                 // 0b00011110
let y = x &<< 2
// y == 120                       // 0b01111000

However, if you use 8 as the shift amount, the method first masks the shift amount to zero, and then performs the shift, resulting in no change to the original value.

let z = x &<< 8
// z == 30                        // 0b00011110

If the bit width of the shifted integer type is a power of two, masking is performed using a bitmask; otherwise, masking is performed using a modulo operation.

Declaration

Returns the result of shifting a value's binary representation the specified number of digits to the left, masking the shift amount to the type's bit width, and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable.

The &<<= operator performs a masking shift, where the value used as rhs is masked to produce a value in the range 0..<lhs.bitWidth. The shift is performed using this masked value.

The following example defines x as an instance of UInt8, an 8-bit, unsigned integer type. If you use 2 as the right-hand-side value in an operation on x, the shift amount requires no masking.

var x: UInt8 = 30                 // 0b00011110
x &<<= 2
// x == 120                       // 0b01111000

However, if you pass 19 as rhs, the method first bitmasks rhs to 3, and then uses that masked value as the number of bits to shift lhs.

var y: UInt8 = 30                 // 0b00011110
y &<<= 19
// y == 240                       // 0b11110000

y &<<= 19
// y == 240                       // 0b11110000

Declaration

Stores the result of performing a bitwise AND operation on the two given values in the left-hand-side variable.

A bitwise AND operation results in a value that has each bit set to 1 where both of its arguments have that bit set to 1. For example:

var x: UInt8 = 5          // 0b00000101
let y: UInt8 = 14         // 0b00001110
x &= y                    // 0b00000100

Declaration

Returns the result of shifting a value's binary representation the specified number of digits to the right, masking the shift amount to the type's bit width.

Use the masking right shift operator (&>>) when you need to perform a shift and are sure that the shift amount is in the range 0..<lhs.bitWidth. Before shifting, the masking right shift operator masks the shift to this range. The shift is performed using this masked value.

If the bit width of the shifted integer type is a power of two, masking is performed using a bitmask; otherwise, masking is performed using a modulo operation.

Declaration

Returns the result of shifting a value's binary representation the specified number of digits to the right, masking the shift amount to the type's bit width.

Use the masking right shift operator (&>>) when you need to perform a shift and are sure that the shift amount is in the range 0..<lhs.bitWidth. Before shifting, the masking right shift operator masks the shift to this range. The shift is performed using this masked value.

The following example defines x as an instance of UInt8, an 8-bit, unsigned integer type. If you use 2 as the right-hand-side value in an operation on x, the shift amount requires no masking.

let x: UInt8 = 30                 // 0b00011110
let y = x &>> 2
// y == 7                         // 0b00000111

However, if you use 8 as the shift amount, the method first masks the shift amount to zero, and then performs the shift, resulting in no change to the original value.

let z = x &>> 8
// z == 30                        // 0b00011110

Declaration

Calculates the result of shifting a value's binary representation the specified number of digits to the right, masking the shift amount to the type's bit width, and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable.

The &>>= operator performs a masking shift, where the value passed as rhs is masked to produce a value in the range 0..<lhs.bitWidth. The shift is performed using this masked value.

The following example defines x as an instance of UInt8, an 8-bit, unsigned integer type. If you use 2 as the right-hand-side value in an operation on x, the shift amount requires no masking.

var x: UInt8 = 30                 // 0b00011110
x &>>= 2
// x == 7                         // 0b00000111

However, if you use 19 as rhs, the operation first bitmasks rhs to 3, and then uses that masked value as the number of bits to shift lhs.

var y: UInt8 = 30                 // 0b00011110
y &>>= 19
// y == 3                         // 0b00000011

// y == 3                         // 0b00000011

Declaration

Multiplies two values and produces their product.

The multiplication operator (*) calculates the product of its two arguments. For example:

2 * 3                   // 6
100 * 21                // 2100
-10 * 15                // -150
3.5 * 2.25              // 7.875

You cannot use * with arguments of different types. To multiply values of different types, convert one of the values to the other value's type.

let x: Int8 = 21
let y: Int = 1000000
Int(x) * y              // 21000000

The product of the two arguments must be representable in the arguments' type. In the following example, the result of 21 * 21 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value:

x * 21                  // Overflow error

Note: Overflow checking is not performed in -Ounchecked builds.

If you want to opt out of overflow checking and wrap the result in case of any overflow, use the overflow multiplication operator (&*).

x &* 21                // -115

Declaration

Multiplies two values and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable.

The product of the two arguments must be representable in the arguments' type. In the following example, the result of 21 * 21 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value:

var x: Int8 = 21
x * 21
// Overflow error

Note: Overflow checking is not performed in -Ounchecked builds.

Declaration

Adds two values and produces their sum.

The addition operator (+) calculates the sum of its two arguments. For example:

1 + 2                   // 3
-10 + 15                // 5
-15 + -5                // -20
21.5 + 3.25             // 24.75

You cannot use + with arguments of different types. To add values of different types, convert one of the values to the other value's type.

let x: Int8 = 21
let y: Int = 1000000
Int(x) + y              // 1000021

The sum of the two arguments must be representable in the arguments' type. In the following example, the result of 21 + 120 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value:

x + 120                 // Overflow error

Note: Overflow checking is not performed in -Ounchecked builds.

If you want to opt out of overflow checking and wrap the result in case of any overflow, use the overflow addition operator (&+).

x &+ 120                // -115

Declaration

Adds two values and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable.

The sum of the two arguments must be representable in the arguments' type. In the following example, the result of 21 + 120 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value:

var x: Int8 = 21
x += 120
// Overflow error

Note: Overflow checking is not performed in -Ounchecked builds.

Declaration

Subtracts one value from another and produces their difference.

The subtraction operator (-) calculates the difference of its two arguments. For example:

8 - 3                   // 5
-10 - 5                 // -15
100 - -5                // 105
10.5 - 100.0            // -89.5

You cannot use - with arguments of different types. To subtract values of different types, convert one of the values to the other value's type.

let x: UInt8 = 21
let y: UInt = 1000000
y - UInt(x)             // 999979

The difference of the two arguments must be representable in the arguments' type. In the following example, the result of 21 - 50 is less than zero, the minimum representable UInt8 value:

x - 50                  // Overflow error

Note: Overflow checking is not performed in -Ounchecked builds.

If you want to opt out of overflow checking and wrap the result in case of any overflow, use the overflow subtraction operator (&-).

x &- 50                // 227

Declaration

Subtracts the second value from the first and stores the difference in the left-hand-side variable.

The difference of the two arguments must be representable in the arguments' type. In the following example, the result of 21 - 50 is less than zero, the minimum representable UInt8 value:

var x: UInt8 = 21
x - 50
// Overflow error

Note: Overflow checking is not performed in -Ounchecked builds.

Declaration

Returns the quotient of dividing the first value by the second.

For integer types, any remainder of the division is discarded.

let x = 21 / 5
// x == 4

Declaration

For integer types, any remainder of the division is discarded.

var x = 21
x /= 5
// x == 4

Declaration

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the value of the first argument is less than that of the second argument.

This function is the only requirement of the Comparable protocol. The remainder of the relational operator functions are implemented by the standard library for any type that conforms to Comparable.

Declaration

Returns the result of shifting a value's binary representation the specified number of digits to the left.

The << operator performs a smart shift, which defines a result for a shift of any value.

The following example defines x as an instance of UInt8, an 8-bit, unsigned integer type. If you use 2 as the right-hand-side value in an operation on x, the value is shifted left by two bits.

let x: UInt8 = 30                 // 0b00011110
let y = x << 2
// y == 120                       // 0b01111000

If you use 11 as rhs, x is overshifted such that all of its bits are set to zero.

let z = x << 11
// z == 0                         // 0b00000000

Using a negative value as rhs is the same as performing a right shift with abs(rhs).

let a = x << -3
// a == 3                         // 0b00000011
let b = x >> 3
// b == 3                         // 0b00000011

// a == 240                       // 0b11110000
let b = x << 3
// b == 240                       // 0b11110000

Right shift operations on negative values "fill in" the high bits with ones instead of zeros.

let q: Int8 = -30                 // 0b11100010
let r = q >> 2
// r == -8                        // 0b11111000

x ^= y                    // 0b00001011

Declaration

Returns a random value within the specified range.

Use this method to generate an integer within a specific range. This example creates three new values in the range 1..<100.

for _ in 1...3 {
    print(Int.random(in: 1..<100))
}
// Prints "53"
// Prints "64"
// Prints "5"

This method is equivalent to calling the version that takes a generator, passing in the system's default random generator.

    print(Int.random(in: 1..<100, using: &myGenerator))
}
// Prints "7"
// Prints "44"
// Prints "21"

Note: The algorithm used to create random values may change in a future version of Swift. If you're passing a generator that results in the same sequence of integer values each time you run your program, that sequence may change when your program is compiled using a different version of Swift.

Declaration

Returns the result of performing a bitwise OR operation on the two given values.

A bitwise OR operation results in a value that has each bit set to 1 where one or both of its arguments have that bit set to 1. For example:

let x: UInt8 = 5          // 0b00000101
let y: UInt8 = 14         // 0b00001110
let z = x | y             // 0b00001111

x |= y                    // 0b00001111

Declaration

Returns the inverse of the bits set in the argument.

The bitwise NOT operator (~) is a prefix operator that returns a value in which all the bits of its argument are flipped: Bits that are 1 in the argument are 0 in the result, and bits that are 0 in the argument are 1 in the result. This is equivalent to the inverse of a set. For example:

let x: UInt8 = 5        // 0b00000101
let notX = ~x           // 0b11111010

Performing a bitwise NOT operation on 0 returns a value with every bit set to 1.

let allOnes = ~UInt8.min   // 0b11111111

Complexity: O(1).
