Getting the nth character of a string.

Every other language:

string[n]

Swift:

string[index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: n)]

A truly revolutionary an extraordinary language

@dontPanic I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. ;)

Fucking hassle!
Cant you do something like:
(This is psudocode, i dont know Swift)

public static int str_index(str, n) {
return index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: n);
}

..
string[str_index(string, n)];

?

Apple magic

Starting Swift 4 you can do String[x]
If I'm not mistaken now you can use: String.characters[x]

Though let's hope this revolutionary language doesn't fuck up our code again in the next release, been working with Swift since Jan 2015 and been crying once a year when new Swift is out 😒

Wouldn't that be the n+1th character?

@-eth It's a zero-indexed n. ;)

Google brings me here after typing "swift fuckifg String.index"

What happened at Apple's quarters?
