Declaration

func distance(from distance: String) -> CLLocationDistance

Parameters

  • distance:

    A formatted string that specifies a distance.

Discussion

This method searches the provided string for a number that could represent a distance. Specify distances as purely numerical values. Don’t specify distances as fractions such as “1/4 mile,” use distances and standard distance designations instead, such as “0.25 miles,” “1.2 km,” “120 yards,” and so on.
