fatal error: swapping a location with itself is not supported with Swift 2.0

i0S Swift Issue

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
    }
}

Hope this helps!
