suffix(from:)
Returns a subsequence from the specified position to the end of the collection.
func suffix(from start: Self.Index) -> Self.SubSequence
Parameters
- start
The index at which to start the resulting subsequence.
start
must be a valid index of the collection.
Returns
A subsequence starting at the start
position.
The following example searches for the index of the number 40
in an array of integers, and then prints the suffix of the array starting at that index:
let numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60]
if let i = numbers.firstIndex(of: 40) {
print(numbers.suffix(from: i))
}
// Prints "[40, 50, 60]"
Passing the collection’s endIndex
as the start
parameter results in an empty subsequence.
print(numbers.suffix(from: numbers.endIndex))
// Prints "[]"
Using the suffix(from:)
method is equivalent to using a partial range from the index as the collection’s subscript. The subscript notation is preferred over suffix(from:)
.
if let i = numbers.firstIndex(of: 40) {
print(numbers[i...])
}
// Prints "[40, 50, 60]"
