How to reverse array in Swift without using “.reverse()”?

Question

I have array and need to reverse it without Array.reverse method, only with a for loop.

var names:[String] = [\"Apple\", \"Microsof         


        

Answer 1

Here is @Abhinav 's answer translated to Swift 2.2 :

var names: [String] = ["Apple", "Microsoft", "Sony", "Lenovo", "Asus"]

var reversedNames = [String]()

for arrayIndex in (names.count - 1).stride(through: 0, by: -1) {
    reversedNames.append(names[arrayIndex])
}

Using this code shouldn't give you any errors or warnings about the use deprecated of C-style for-loops or the use of --.

Swift 3 - Current:

let names: [String] = ["Apple", "Microsoft", "Sony", "Lenovo", "Asus"]

var reversedNames = [String]()

for arrayIndex in stride(from: names.count - 1, through: 0, by: -1) {
    reversedNames.append(names[arrayIndex])
}

Alternatively, you could loop through normally and subtract each time:

let names = ["Apple", "Microsoft", "Sony", "Lenovo", "Asus"]

let totalIndices = names.count - 1 // We get this value one time instead of once per iteration.

var reversedNames = [String]()

for arrayIndex in 0...totalIndices {
    reversedNames.append(names[totalIndices - arrayIndex])
}
