Swift Program to Insert a string into another string
Swift provides a function named insert() to insert a string into another string. The insert(at:) function adds a new character or string in the current string at the specified position.
Input
String = “Program to learn” New String = “Swift”
Output
String = Swift Program to learn”
Here we insert a new string in the input String at index 1. So we get “Swift Program to learn” in the output.
Syntax
func insert(newVal, at: idx)
Where newVal represents a new string which we want to insert into the given string, and idx is the valid index to where we insert the newVal in the existing string.
Algorithm
Step 1 − Create a string.
Step 2 − Create another string which we will insert into the given string.
Step 3 − Find the index value using the index() function at which we will insert the new string.
Step 4 − Now insert the new string into the given string using the insert() function.
Step 5 − Print the output.
Example
In the following Swift program, we will insert a string into another string. To do this task we will create two original strings and the new string. The original string is the main string in which we will insert the new string. Then we calculate the index value at which we will insert the new string using index() and then using the insert() function we will insert the new string in the original string at the specified index.
import Foundation
import Glibc
var originalStr = "my blue car"
let newStr = "color "
print("Original String:", originalStr)
// Finding index
let idx = originalStr.index(originalStr.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)
// Inserting new string in the current string
originalStr.insert(contentsOf: newStr, at: idx)
print("Updated String:", originalStr)
Output
Original String: my blue car Updated String: my color blue car
Conclusion
So this is how we insert a string into another string. Using the insert() function you can insert any string or character at any index in the specified string. But remember the index should be a valid index. If you insert any invalid syntax, then this method will throw an exception.
