Instance Methods

Iteration

each

• each (eachFunction each: (KeyType, ValueType) -> ())

Calls eachFunction for each (key, value) couple in self.

Examples

Without indexes

let dictionary = ["A": 1, "B": 2, "C": 3]
dictionary.each { key, value in println(key, value) }
/* Prints → */
// (A, 1)
// (B, 2)
// (C, 3)

Items accessing

has

• has (key: KeyType) -> Bool

Returns true if key is in self, false otherwise.

Examples

Without indexes

let dictionary = ["A": 1, "B": 2, "C": 3]
dictionary.has("A")
// → true

---

pick, at

• pick (keys: KeyType[]) -> Dictionary
• pick (keys: KeyType...) -> Dictionary
• at (keys: KeyType...) -> Dictionary

Return a copy of self, containing the couples (key, value) for the whitelisted keys.

Examples

Without indexes

let dictionary = ["A": 1, "B": 2, "C": 3, "D": 4]
dictionary.pick("A", "C")
// → ["A": 1, "C": 3]

Items testing

all

• all (test: (KeyType, ValueType) -> (Bool)) -> Bool

Executes test on each (key, value) in self and returns true if test returns true for each couple, false otherwise.

Example

let dictionary = ["A": 1, "B": 2, "C": 3, "D": 4]

dictionary.all { key, value -> Bool in value > 0 }
// → true

dictionary.all { key, value -> Bool in key == "A" }
// → false

any

• any (test: (KeyType, ValueType) -> (Bool)) -> Bool

Executes test on each (key, value) in self and returns true if test returns true for any couple, false otherwise.

Example

let dictionary = ["A": 1, "B": 2, "C": 3, "D": 4]

dictionary.any { key, value -> Bool in value < 0 }
// → false

dictionary.any { key, value -> Bool in key == "A" }
// → true
