I am investigating some of the components in Java and wondering what is the best practice to convert the following Java code snippet to Swift.
public void doTest(ArrayList<Double> items) {
// I know that I should check the count of items. Let's say the count is 10.
double max = IntStream.range(1, 5)
.mapToDouble(i -> items.get(i) - items.get(i - 1))
.max().getAsDouble();
}
AlI I know is there is no equivalent parallel aggregate operations in Swift to replicate the IntStream. Do I need to write some nested loops or any better solution? Thank you.
I believe this is the shortest Swift equivalent of your function:
func doTest(items: [Double]) -> Double? {
return (1...5)
.map { i in items[i] - items[i - 1] }
.max()
}
I'm using a Swift Range Operator in place of an IntStream.
Here is a test for that function:
func testDoTest() throws {
let items = [2.2, 4.4, 1.1, 3.3, 7.7, 8.8, 5.5, 9.9, 6.6]
print("1 through 5: \(items[1...5])")
let result = doTest(items: items)
print("result: \(String(describing: result))")
}
Here is the output:
1 through 5: [4.4, 1.1, 3.3, 7.7, 8.8]
result: Optional(4.4)
