Swift version: 5.10
Swift has a helpful stride()
, which lets you move from one value to another using any increment – and even lets you specify whether the upper bound is exclusive or inclusive.
First, some examples. This first example counts from 0 to 10 in 2s:
for i in stride(from: 0, to: 10, by: 2) {
print(i)
}
This second example counts from 0 up to to 0.5, exclusive:
for i in stride(from: 0, to: 0.5, by: 0.1) {
print(i)
}
Both those examples use stride(from:to:by:)
, which counts from the start point up to by excluding the to
parameter. If you want to count up and including the to
parameter, you should use stride(from:through:by:)
, like this:
for i in stride(from: 0, through: 10, by: 2) {
print(i)
}
