subscript(_:)

Declaration

subscript(i: Int) -> Element { get }

Parameters

• i:

  The position of the element to access. i must be in the range 0..<count.

Overview

The following example uses the buffer pointer’s subscript to access every other element of the buffer:

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
let sum = numbers.withUnsafeBufferPointer { buffer -> Int in
    var result = 0
    for i in stride(from: buffer.startIndex, to: buffer.endIndex, by: 2) {
        result += buffer[i]
    }
    return result
}
// 'sum' == 9
