dropLast(_:)

Returns a sequence containing all but the given number of final elements.

Declaration

func dropLast(_ k: Int = 1) -> [Self.Element]

Return Value

A sequence leaving off the specified number of elements.

Discussion

The sequence must be finite. If the number of elements to drop exceeds the number of elements in the sequence, the result is an empty sequence.

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(numbers.dropLast(2))
// Prints "[1, 2, 3]"
print(numbers.dropLast(10))
// Prints "[]"
