I'm new at programming and started with Swift. The first issue I came along with is the following:
I have 4 variables
var a = "345"
var b = "30.6"
var c = "74hf2"
var d = "5"
I need to count the sum of Integers (if not integer, it will turn to nil)
if Int(a) != nil {
var aNum = Int(ar)!
}
if Int (b) != nil {
var bNum = Int (b)!
}
and so on..
As far as I understand, the Int() should convert each element into an Optional Integer.
Then I should use forced unwrapping by convertin the Int? to Int and only then I can use it for my purposes. But instead, when I count the sum of my variables, the compiler sums them as Strings.
var sum = aNum + bNum + cNum + dNum
Output:
34530.674hf25
Why my variables, which are declared as strings and then converted into optional integers with Int(), didn't work?
Your code has typos that make it hard to tell what you are actually trying to do:
Assuming your 2nd variable should be b, as below:
var a = "345"
var b = "30.6"
var c = "74hf2"
var d = "5"
///Then you can use code like this:
var sum = 0
if let aVal = Int(a) { sum += aVal }
if let bVal = Int(b) { sum += bVal }
if let cVal = Int(c) { sum += cVal }
if let dVal = Int(d) { sum += dVal }
print(sum)
That prints 350 since only 345 and 5 are valid Int values.

var str = ["Franc": 2]
var a = 1
str["Franc"] = a += 1
print(str)
When I try this code i get an error on line "str["Franc"] = a += 1" that is "Cannot assign value of type '()' to type 'Int?'"
How to solve this. I need it in single line
Thank you in advance
We can do this directly only in Objective C:
In Objective C:
[str setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:a+=1] forKey:#"Franc"];
In Swift
str["Franc"] = a
a += 1
You can increment number like this
str["Franc"]! = a ; a += 1
assign value
var str = ["Franc": 2]
str["Franc"]! += 1
and now str["Franc"] will returns 3
And if you want to avoid force unwrapping
str["Franc"] = (str["Franc"] ?? 0) + 1
Also you can do it using if let
if let num = str["Franc"] as? Double {
str["Franc"] = num + 1
}
I don't think you can do this in a single line:
var str = ["Franc": 2]
var a = 1
str["Franc"] = a
a += 1
print(str)
I want to add the numbers together and print every 4 elements, however i cannot wrap my head around using the stride function, if i am using the wrong approach please explain a better method
var numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]
func addNumbersByStride(){
var output = Stride...
//first output = 1+2+3+4 = 10
//second output = 5+6+7+8 = 26 and so on
print(output)
}
It seems you would like to use stride ...
let arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]
let by = 4
let i = stride(from: arr.startIndex, to: arr.endIndex, by: by)
var j = i.makeIterator()
while let n = j.next() {
let e = min(n.advanced(by: by), arr.endIndex)
let sum = arr[n..<e].reduce(0, +)
print("summ of arr[\(n)..<\(e)]", sum)
}
prints
summ of arr[0..<4] 10
summ of arr[4..<8] 26
summ of arr[8..<12] 42
summ of arr[12..<13] 13
You can first split the array into chunks, and then add the chunks up:
extension Array {
// split array into chunks of n
func chunked(into size: Int) -> [[Element]] {
return stride(from: 0, to: count, by: size).map {
Array(self[$0 ..< Swift.min($0 + size, count)])
}
}
}
// add each chunk up:
let results = numbers.chunked(into: 4).map { $0.reduce(0, +) }
If you would like to discard the last sum if the length of the original array is not divisible by 4, you can add an if statement like this:
let results: [Int]
if numbers.count % 4 != 0 {
results = Array(numbers.chunked(into: 4).map { $0.reduce(0, +) }.dropLast())
} else {
results = numbers.chunked(into: 4).map { $0.reduce(0, +) }
}
This is quite a basic solution and maybe not so elegant. First calculate and print sum of every group of 4 elements
var sum = 0
var count = 0
for n in stride(from: 4, to: numbers.count, by: 4) {
sum = 0
for i in n-4..<n {
sum += numbers[i]
}
count = n
print(sum)
}
Then calculate the sum of the remaining elements
sum = 0
for n in count..<numbers.count {
sum += numbers[n]
}
print(sum)

Since I put my return out of if statement, I think it will be okay because it will stop while looping when it meets return.
But editor says it's not.
I want to know why. Please explain me why.
Every code path through your findMedianSortedArrays() must return a Double.
So you need a return of a Double placed outside of your while loop. Even if you had every code path within the while loop have a return double, if imin > imax you wouldn't even enter the while loop, and so would need a return of a double outside it.
I fixed it by putting another return out of while loop.

I am trying to solve the task
Using a standard for-in loop add all odd numbers less than or equal to 100 to the oddNumbers array
I tried the following:
var oddNumbers = [Int]()
var numbt = 0
for newNumt in 0..<100 {
var newNumt = numbt + 1; numbt += 2; oddNumbers.append(newNumt)
}
print(oddNumbers)
This results in:
1,3,5,7,9,...199
My question is: Why does it print numbers above 100 although I specify the range between 0 and <100?
You're doing a mistake:
for newNumt in 0..<100 {
var newNumt = numbt + 1; numbt += 2; oddNumbers.append(newNumt)
}
The variable newNumt defined inside the loop does not affect the variable newNumt declared in the for statement. So the for loop prints out the first 100 odd numbers, not the odd numbers between 0 and 100.
If you need to use a for loop:
var odds = [Int]()
for number in 0...100 where number % 2 == 1 {
odds.append(number)
}
Alternatively:
let odds = (0...100).filter { $0 % 2 == 1 }
will filter the odd numbers from an array with items from 0 to 100. For an even better implementation use the stride operator:
let odds = Array(stride(from: 1, to: 100, by: 2))
If you want all the odd numbers between 0 and 100 you can write
let oddNums = (0...100).filter { $0 % 2 == 1 }
or
let oddNums = Array(stride(from: 1, to: 100, by: 2))
Why does it print numbers above 100 although I specify the range between 0 and <100?
Look again at your code:
for newNumt in 0..<100 {
var newNumt = numbt + 1; numbt += 2; oddNumbers.append(newNumt)
}
The newNumt used inside the loop is different from the loop variable; the var newNumt declares a new variable whose scope is the body of the loop, so it gets created and destroyed each time through the loop. Meanwhile, numbt is declared outside the loop, so it keeps being incremented by 2 each time through the loop.
I see that this is an old question, but none of the answers specifically address looping over odd numbers, so I'll add another. The stride() function that Luca Angeletti pointed to is the right way to go, but you can use it directly in a for loop like this:
for oddNumber in stride(from:1, to:100, by:2) {
// your code here
}
stride(from:,to:,by:) creates a list of any strideable type up to but not including the from: parameter, in increments of the by: parameter, so in this case oddNumber starts at 1 and includes 3, 5, 7, 9...99. If you want to include the upper limit, there's a stride(from:,through:,by:) form where the through: parameter is included.
If you want all the odd numbers between 0 and 100 you can write
for i in 1...100 {
if i % 2 == 1 {
continue
}
print(i - 1)
}
For Swift 4.2
extension Collection {
func everyOther(_ body: (Element) -> Void) {
let start = self.startIndex
let end = self.endIndex
var iter = start
while iter != end {
body(self[iter])
let next = index(after: iter)
if next == end { break }
iter = index(after: next)
}
}
}
And then you can use it like this:
class OddsEvent: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
(1...900000).everyOther{ print($0) } //Even
(0...100000).everyOther{ print($0) } //Odds
}
}
This is more efficient than:
let oddNums = (0...100).filter { $0 % 2 == 1 } or
let oddNums = Array(stride(from: 1, to: 100, by: 2))
because supports larger Collections

Hy,
I have a very Basic Question which is :
How can i create a random number with 20 digits no floats no negatives (basically an Int) in Swift ?
Thanks for all answers XD
Step 1
First of all we need an extension of Int to generate a random number in a range.
extension Int {
init(_ range: Range<Int> ) {
let delta = range.startIndex < 0 ? abs(range.startIndex) : 0
let min = UInt32(range.startIndex + delta)
let max = UInt32(range.endIndex + delta)
self.init(Int(min + arc4random_uniform(max - min)) - delta)
}
}
This can be used this way:
Int(0...9) // 4 or 1 or 1...
Int(10...99) // 90 or 33 or 11
Int(100...999) // 200 or 333 or 893
Step 2
Now we need a function that receive the number of digits requested, calculates the range of the random number and finally does invoke the new initializer of Int.
func random(digits:Int) -> Int {
let min = Int(pow(Double(10), Double(digits-1))) - 1
let max = Int(pow(Double(10), Double(digits))) - 1
return Int(min...max)
}
Test
random(1) // 8
random(2) // 12
random(3) // 829
random(4) // 2374
Swift 5: Simple Solution
func random(digits:Int) -> String {
var number = String()
for _ in 1...digits {
number += "\(Int.random(in: 1...9))"
}
return number
}
print(random(digits: 1)) //3
print(random(digits: 2)) //59
print(random(digits: 3)) //926
Note It will return value in String, if you need Int value then you can do like this
let number = Int(random(digits: 1)) ?? 0
Here is some pseudocode that should do what you want.
generateRandomNumber(20)
func generateRandomNumber(int numDigits){
var place = 1
var finalNumber = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < numDigits; i++){
place *= 10
var randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(10)
finalNumber += randomNumber * place
}
return finalNumber
}
Its pretty simple. You generate 20 random numbers, and multiply them by the respective tens, hundredths, thousands... place that they should be on. This way you will guarantee a number of the correct size, but will randomly generate the number that will be used in each place.
Update
As said in the comments you will most likely get an overflow exception with a number this long, so you'll have to be creative in how you'd like to store the number (String, ect...) but I merely wanted to show you a simple way to generate a number with a guaranteed digit length. Also, given the current code there is a small chance your leading number could be 0 so you should protect against that as well.
you can create a string number then convert the number to your required number.
func generateRandomDigits(_ digitNumber: Int) -> String {
var number = ""
for i in 0..<digitNumber {
var randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(10)
while randomNumber == 0 && i == 0 {
randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(10)
}
number += "\(randomNumber)"
}
return number
}
print(Int(generateRandomDigits(3)))
for 20 digit you can use Double instead of Int
Here is 18 decimal digits in a UInt64:
(Swift 3)
let sz: UInt32 = 1000000000
let ms: UInt64 = UInt64(arc4random_uniform(sz))
let ls: UInt64 = UInt64(arc4random_uniform(sz))
let digits: UInt64 = ms * UInt64(sz) + ls
print(String(format:"18 digits: %018llu", digits)) // Print with leading 0s.
16 decimal digits with leading digit 1..9 in a UInt64:
let sz: UInt64 = 100000000
let ld: UInt64 = UInt64(arc4random_uniform(9)+1)
let ms: UInt64 = UInt64(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(sz/10)))
let ls: UInt64 = UInt64(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(sz)))
let digits: UInt64 = ld * (sz*sz/10) + (ms * sz) + ls
print(String(format:"16 digits: %llu", digits))

Step 1:
extension Int {
init(_ range: Range<Int> ) {
let delta = range.lowerBound < 0 ? abs(range.lowerBound) : 0
let min = UInt32(range.lowerBound + delta)
let max = UInt32(range.upperBound + delta)
self.init(Int(min + arc4random_uniform(max - min)) - delta)
}
}
Step 2:
func randomNumberWith(digits:Int) -> Int {
let min = Int(pow(Double(10), Double(digits-1))) - 1
let max = Int(pow(Double(10), Double(digits))) - 1
return Int(Range(uncheckedBounds: (min, max)))
}
Usage:
randomNumberWith(digits:4) // 2271
randomNumberWith(digits:8) // 65273410
