So I am trying to iterate over an NSArray. My NSArray is an array of an array of strings. Here is a copy-paste of the first 1.5 elements
(
(
"Tater Tot Nachos",
"Fried Feta",
"The Ultimate Feta Bread",
"Cheese Bread",
"Aubrees Bread",
"The Wings!",
"Coconut Grove Chicken Sicks",
"Far East Wings",
"Bacon Brussels Sprouts"
),
(
"Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad",
"Greek Salad",
"Coronado Cobb Salad",
"Harvest Salad",
This is the function that's giving me the headache
func createMenu() {
if let list = cellDescripters {
for(index, item) in list.enumerated() {
for food in item {
//DO SOMETHING WITH "FOOD"
}
}
}
}
' cellDescripters ' Is a global variable and it is the array I was outlining at the top, basically an array of arrays of strings.
When I print the type of ' item ' I see it's of type __NSArrayM which is an NSMutableArray from my understanding. Looking at documentation NSMutableArrays are iterable.
However when I go to compile this code I get the error:
Type 'Any' does not conform to protocol 'Sequence'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In Swift, creating a multi-dimensional array is just a matter of adding another set of brackets. For example, to turn our [String] array into an array of arrays, you would just write [[String]] .
Since 2D arrays are really arrays of arrays you can also use a nested enhanced for-each loop to loop through all elements in an array.
A multi-dimensional array can be termed as an array of arrays that stores homogeneous data in tabular form. Data in multidimensional arrays are stored in row-major order. The general form of declaring N-dimensional arrays is: data_type array_name[size1][size2]....
I think following example give you help for example i have array of string array like you =
[["beverages", "food", "suppliers"],["other stuff", "medicine"]];
var arrayExample = [["beverages", "food", "suppliers"],["other stuff", "medicine"]];
//Iterate array through for loop
for(index, item) in arrayExample.enumerated()
{
for food in item
{
print("index : \(index) item: \(food)")
}
}
OUTPUT
index : 0 item: beverages
index : 0 item: food
index : 0 item: suppliers
index : 1 item: other stuff
index : 1 item: medicine
