Instance Method

formIndex(_:offsetBy:)

Offsets the given index by the specified distance.

Declaration

func formIndex(_ i: inout Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index, offsetBy distance: Int)

Parameters

i

A valid index of the collection.

distance

The distance to offset i. distance must not be negative unless the collection conforms to the BidirectionalCollection protocol.

Discussion

The value passed as distance must not offset i beyond the bounds of the collection.

Complexity: O(1) if the collection conforms to RandomAccessCollection; otherwise, O(k), where k is the absolute value of distance.

Manipulating Indices

var startIndex: Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index

The position of the first element in a nonempty dictionary.

var endIndex: Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index

The dictionary’s “past the end” position—that is, the position one greater than the last valid subscript argument.

func index(after: Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index) -> Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index

Returns the position immediately after the given index.

func formIndex(after: inout Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index)

Replaces the given index with its successor.

func index(Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index, offsetBy: Int) -> Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index

Returns an index that is the specified distance from the given index.

func index(Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index, offsetBy: Int, limitedBy: Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index) -> Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index?

Returns an index that is the specified distance from the given index, unless that distance is beyond a given limiting index.

func formIndex(inout Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index, offsetBy: Int, limitedBy: Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index) -> Bool

Offsets the given index by the specified distance, or so that it equals the given limiting index.

func distance(from: Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index, to: Dictionary<Key, Value>.Index) -> Int

Returns the distance between two indices.

var indices: DefaultIndices<Dictionary<Key, Value>>

The indices that are valid for subscripting the collection, in ascending order.
