# range(at:)

Returns the result type that the range represents.

## Declaration

```swift
func range(at idx: Int) -> NSRange
```

## Parameters

- `idx`: The index of the result.

## Return Value

Return Value The range of the result.

## Discussion

Discussion A result must have at least one range, but may optionally have more, for example, to represent regular expression capture groups. Passing range(at:) the value 0 always returns the value of the range property. Additional ranges, if any, will have indexes from 1 to numberOfRanges``-1.
