This method returns the index of the first element in the array that is equal to the given element or nil if no such element is found. How to print the Index of List items? Let's look at an example. Algorithm Step 1 − Define an input array. Step 2 − Call the firstIndex() method on the input array. ... Read More

The goal of this article is to explain how you can add constraints programmatically in the Swift language.
