Re: [swift-evolution] Proposal: Remove the underscore and `in` for `for` loop

Sorry, my example should have been the other way around: var data: NSData! for 1...5 { data = self.loadSomeData() if data != nil { break // *this* can't be done with .forEach } /// Try again in next iteration } if data == nil {

`continue` can be rewritten `return` inside `forEach`. On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 02:30 Charlie Monroe via swift-evolution < swift-evolution@swift.org> wrote: > Example: > > for 1...5 { > guard let data = self.loadSomeData() else { > /// Will try it several times and then report failure to the user.

How would you build a condition to break if you are ignoring each value ? Unless you are hard coding a condition in which case I would still argue that the proposed shorthand for is less clear than `for _ in` or forEach. > On Jul 4, 2016, at 9:29 PM, Charlie Monroe

-1. I like the underscore. If it turns out you do need the loop variable later, it's easy to see where to add it. Karl > > On Jul 1, 2016 at 9:38 AM, (mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org)> wrote: > > > > > When you want a simple `for` loop, for example: > > > >

Minor, but I think I'd be onboard as well. Once proposed (and assuming it was approved), this would likely be deferred until post Swift 3 since it’s additive. l8r Sean > On Jul 1, 2016, at 2:38 AM, Diego Barros via swift-evolution > wrote: > > When you want a

+1, having to add an underscore in a X.times loop always feels contrived. On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 2:38 AM, Diego Barros via swift-evolution < swift-evolution@swift.org> wrote: > When you want a simple `for` loop, for example: > > for _ in 1...10 { > > // do something 10 times > > } > > > Clean-up

Additive idea, but +1 for looping on ranges without the need on an index. --  Adrian Zubarev Sent with Airmail Am 1. Juli 2016 um 09:39:23, Diego Barros via swift-evolution (swift-evolution@swift.org) schrieb: When you want a simple `for` loop, for example: for _ in 1...10 { // do

[swift-evolution] Proposal: Remove the underscore and `in` for `for` loop

When you want a simple `for` loop, for example: for _ in 1...10 { // do something 10 times } Clean-up and simplify the syntax by removing the superfluous underscore and `in`: for 1...10 { // do something 10 times } -- diego ___ swift-evolution
