# ...(_:)

Returns a partial range extending upward from a lower bound.

## Declaration

```swift
static func ... (minimum: Self) -> PartialRangeFrom<Self>
```

## Parameters

- `minimum`: The lower bound for the range.

## Discussion

Discussion Use the postfix range operator (postfix ...) to create a partial range of any type that conforms to the Comparable protocol. This example creates a PartialRangeFrom<Double> instance that includes any value greater than or equal to 5.0. let atLeastFive = 5.0...

atLeastFive.contains(4.0)     // false atLeastFive.contains(5.0)     // true atLeastFive.contains(6.0)     // true You can use this type of partial range of a collection’s indices to represent the range from the partial range’s lower bound up to the end of the collection. let numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70] print(numbers[3...]) // Prints "[40, 50, 60, 70]" note: minimum must compare equal to itself (i.e. cannot be NaN).
