subscript(_:)

Declaration

subscript(index: Substring.UTF8View.Index) -> Substring.UTF8View.Element { get }

Overview

The following example accesses an element of an array through its subscript to print its value:

var streets = ["Adams", "Bryant", "Channing", "Douglas", "Evarts"]
print(streets[1])
// Prints "Bryant"

You can subscript a collection with any valid index other than the collection’s end index. The end index refers to the position one past the last element of a collection, so it doesn’t correspond with an element.
