Swift Algorithms & Collections
IOS development and Software engineering.
Swift language is compelling, including its newly released Algorithm package that implements more power to users when executing tasks. But to understand the power and punch of swift algorithm dependency, we will cover exactly what algorithm is and why it’s essential.
Algorithm
Computers constantly execute specific rules and task that user desires every day. Most of these actions are because their is set operation designed to use problem-solving and logical processes, to sum up and execute the desired action. These actions are defined as an algorithm.
The first computer algorithm was written and designed by Young Ada Lovelace who sketch and created an automatic calculating machine using equations and math mathematical logic and operation.
Swift Algorithm Package
Swift language offers many ways of writing complex operations for IOS devices. For example, the Swift Algorithm package comes jam-packed with many components and collections that can be used when writing IOS applications for devices or powerful operations for logical interaction for the user. We will be discussing the Chunked and Chain components of the Swift algorithm package.
What is the Chain method in the Swift Algorithm package?
Commonly in the swift programming language, we can concatenate string values and integers together. Furthermore, combining two Arrays can use the join method or flatMap to link both collections together. Listed below are some examples of each method.
Output: 2,4,6,8,10,12
Output: 14,16,18, 20, 22, 24
Output: 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36
Using the chain method, we can output the same results and add more logical operations to our collection and range. The keyword chain is annotated to initiate the chain method.
Output: 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30,
Output: 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50
Chunked(by:)
Swift Algorithm package also offers the Chunked method that can be used to break Array or collection into chunks of collection. The technique is beneficial when grouping elements together, such as taking list integers and grouping them into a smaller or larger size.
Output: [35, 45, 30, 65, 75, 45, 95, 105]
Chunked(On:)
This method can group list elements and separate them into their collection if they do not equal each other. The example listed below displays group string values that represent the name of class students. We next define a constant variable that uses the chunk method to group elements separately if the first letter of string value is not similar to each other.
Output: [[“Jamie”], [“Kiara”], [“Melanie”, “Mitchell”]]
