Returns a subsequence, up to the given maximum length, containing the final elements of the collection.
SDK
- Xcode 11.0+
Framework
- Swift Standard Library
Declaration
func suffix(_ maxLength: Int) -> Slice<CollectionParameters
maxLengthThe maximum number of elements to return. The value of
maxmust be greater than or equal to zero.Length
Return Value
A subsequence terminating at the end of the collection with at most max elements.
Discussion
If the maximum length exceeds the number of elements in the collection, the result contains all the elements in the collection.
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(numbers.suffix(2))
// Prints "[4, 5]"
print(numbers.suffix(10))
// Prints "[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]"
Complexity: O(1) if the collection conforms to Random; otherwise, O(n), where n is the length of the collection.
