Array extension to remove object by value

Question

extension Array {
    func removeObject(object: T) {
        var index = find(self, object)
        self.removeAtIndex(index)
    }
}
         


        

Answer 1

Using indexOf instead of a for or enumerate:

extension Array where Element: Equatable {

   mutating func removeElement(element: Element) -> Element? {
      if let index = indexOf(element) {
         return removeAtIndex(index)
      }
      return nil
   }

   mutating func removeAllOccurrencesOfElement(element: Element) -> Int {
       var occurrences = 0
       while true {
          if let index = indexOf(element) {
             removeAtIndex(index)
             occurrences++
          } else {
             return occurrences
          }
       }
   }   
}
