Declaration
Parameters
startThe index at which to start the resulting subsequence.
startmust be a valid index of the collection.
Return Value
A subsequence starting at the start position.
Discussion
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 end 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]"
