prefix(while:)
Returns a sequence containing the initial, consecutive elements that satisfy the given predicate.
func prefix(while predicate: (Self.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> [Self.Element] Parameters
- predicate
A closure that takes an element of the sequence as its argument and returns a Boolean value indicating whether the element should be included in the result.
Returns
A sequence of the initial, consecutive elements that satisfy predicate.
The following example uses the prefix(while:) method to find the positive numbers at the beginning of the numbers array. Every element of numbers up to, but not including, the first negative value is included in the result.
let numbers = [3, 7, 4, -2, 9, -6, 10, 1]
let positivePrefix = numbers.prefix(while: { $0 > 0 })
// positivePrefix == [3, 7, 4]If predicate matches every element in the sequence, the resulting sequence contains every element of the sequence.
