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

You could use filter() in combination with operator overloading to produce an easily repeatable solution:

func -= (inout left: [String], right: String){
    left = left.filter{$0 != right}    
}

var myArrayOfStrings:[String] = ["Hello","Playground","World"]

myArrayOfStrings -= "Hello"

print(myArrayOfStrings)   // "[Playground, World]"
