Remove Specific Array Element, Equal to String - Swift

Question

Is there no easy way to remove a specific element from an array, if it is equal to a given string? The workarounds are to find the index of the element of the array you wish

Answer 1

It's not clear if by quicker you mean in terms of execution time or amount of code.

In the latter case you can easily create a copy using the filter method. For example, given the following array:

let array = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"]

you can create a copy with all elements but "2" as:

let filteredArray = array.filter { $0 != "2" }
