In Swift to get the first N objects of an array, we can use the prefix function or Range operator. This prefix function is used to retrieve the prefix elements by passing the count limit. Also, you can use the range operator to get n number of elements from an array. Let's see some examples. In Swift, the prefix function returns an array containing the first n elements. Using the Prefix Function You can use the prefix function to get the first n elements of an array. Step 1 − Create an input array Step 2 − Call the ... Read More

In this article, you will see some methods like reverse, ranges, stride(from:to:by:), forEach(), etc. Each method can be used in different use cases. Also, you should know that each method has its own performance. Using the reversed() Method This method returns a new array by reversing the elements of an array. It does not change the order of the input array. Step 1 − Create an input array to iterate Step 2 − Perform a for loop with the reversed() function Step 3 − Perform an ... Read More

In Swift, you can convert a float to an Int by using the Int() constructor. This will round the float value toward zero and return an integer value. Remember that, this constructor returns an optional value, so you have to use an optional binding approach to wrap the value safely. In this article, you will see some examples of how to use the Int() constructor. Using the Int() constructor You can use the Int() constructor to convert a Float to an Int. This method rounds the float value toward zero and returns an integer value. Step 1 − Declare ... Read More

In Swift, you can use the built-in Data type and its method base64EncodedString() to encode a string to Base64. In the iOS applications, you might need to encode a string to base64 mostly in networking requests and responses. Mostly, you will need to encode a string to base64 and vice versa. Let's learn how to encode a string to Base64 using Swift. Example In this example, we will use the following steps to encode a string to base64 − Step 1 − In this step, we will convert the string to a Data object using the data(using: .utf8) method. ...
