Check if a string exists in an array case insensitively

Xcode 8 • Swift 3 or later let list = [“kashif”] let word = “Kashif” if list.contains(where: {$0.caseInsensitiveCompare(word) == .orderedSame}) { print(true) // true } alternatively: if list.contains(where: {$0.compare(word, options: .caseInsensitive) == .orderedSame}) { print(true) // true } if you would like to know the position(s) of the element in the array (it might find … Read more

Add items to a collection if the collection does NOT already contain it by comparing a property of the items?

You start by finding which elements are not already in the collection: var newItems = DownloadedItems.Where(x => !CurrentCollection.Any(y => x.bar == y.bar)); And then just add them: foreach(var item in newItems) { CurrentCollection.Add(item); } Note that the first operation may have quadratic complexity if the size of DownloadedItems is close to the size of CurrentCollection. … Read more

What does Collection.Contains() use to check for existing objects?

List<T>.Contains uses EqualityComparer<T>.Default, which in turn uses IEquatable<T> if the type implements it, or object.Equals otherwise. You could just implement IEquatable<T> but it’s a good idea to override object.Equals if you do so, and a very good idea to override GetHashCode() if you do that: public class SomeIDdClass : IEquatable<SomeIDdClass> { private readonly int _id; … Read more
