SWIFT – Create filled array using map

A simple trick using .map to create directly a new Int array with random numbers inside.

The function produce this output:

array[0] = 1
array[1] = 5
array[2] = 3
[…]
array[30] = 1

The function, using map become:

func generateArray() -> [Int] {
  let monthDays = Calendar.current.numberOfDaysInMonthForDate(Date())

   let array = (0..<monthdays).map { i -> Int in
     return Int(Double(arc4random_uniform(5)))
  }

  return array
}

That’s all!
