Question or problem in the Swift programming language:
I have this extension which will create a new array which have group of arrays randomly from given array:
extension Array { var shuffle:[Element] { var elements = self for index in 0.. [[Element]] { var result:[[Element]]=[] for i in 0...(count/n)-1 { var tempArray:[Element] = [] for index in 0...n-1 { tempArray.append(self[index+(i*n)]) } result.append(tempArray) } return result } }
And I am using it like this:
let mainArr = Array(1...60) let suffeldArr = mainArr.shuffle.groupOf(10) print(suffeldArr)
And it will print like:
[[10 random element between 1 to 60], [10 random element between 1 to 60], [10 random element between 1 to 60], [10 random element between 1 to 60], [10 random element between 1 to 60], [10 random element between 1 to 60]]
But it is giving me an error at run time at this line:
swap(&elements[index], &elements[ Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(elements.count-index)))+index ])
Which says:
It was working fine in 1.2 but now it is not working in 2.0.
I don’t know how to solve this.
How to solve the problem:
You are trying to swap an element with itself, you will need to perform a check to see if you are not trying to swap an element to the same spot in the array, like so:
extension Array { var shuffle:[Element] { var elements = self for index in 0.. [[Element]] { var result:[[Element]]=[] for i in 0...(count/n)-1 { var tempArray:[Element] = [] for index in 0...n-1 { tempArray.append(self[index+(i*n)]) } result.append(tempArray) } return result } }
