Swift - sum range.location and range.length

Question

I have following Obj-c statement:

string = [string substringFromIndex:(range.location + range.length)];

What it's Swift equivalent?

Couldn't you just have looked this up? This doesn't seem like a hard conversion at all... — Benjamin Lowry, Feb 02 '17 at 12:56

@BenjaminLowry, Having multiple range types in Swift, and no Xcode help, it is a hard conversion! — Iulian Onofrei, Nov 30 '17 at 13:41

You should use substring(from:):

var string = "Hello World"

string = string.substring(from: string.index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: 6))

print(string) // "World"

Also, you might want to use substring(to:):

let hello = string.substring(to: string.index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: 5))

print(hello) // "Hello"

So the answer is "replace `range.length` with `6`"? – Iulian Onofrei Nov 30 '17 at 13:42

If you do not want to use substring:

let string = "abcdefghijklm"
let startPoint = 2
let length = 5

let startIndex = string.index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: startPoint)
let endIndex = string.index(startIndex, offsetBy: length)

let result = string[startIndex ..< endIndex]
print(result)         // cdefg
