I only know a little bit of what I’ve read online in blog posts and such. I don’t have access to the Swift 4 API documentation, since i’m not running the xcode beta yet.
Is there someplace I can see the actual new API’s for String, in swift 4? i googled but haven’t found it yet. > On Jun 30, 2017, at 5:44 PM, Adrian Zubarev <adrian.zuba...@devandartist.com> > wrote: > > Well you’ve mentioned Swift 4 in your original post, therefore I provided a > solution using Swift 4.
