Instance Method (Default implementation)swift 6.0.1Swift
distance(from:to:)
Returns the distance between two indices.
func distance(from start: Self.Index, to end: Self.Index) -> Int Parameters
Returns
The distance between start and end. The result can be negative only if the collection conforms to the BidirectionalCollection protocol.
Unless the collection conforms to the BidirectionalCollection protocol, start must be less than or equal to end.
Implements
func distance(from: Self.Index, to: Self.Index) -> Int Returns the distance between two indices.
