-1 I agree with this and doing something a specific number of times without accessing the iteration counter is an edge case in my experience. Creating another syntax to save 4 characters for an edge case is a poor benefit/complexity tradeoff. Ignoring with an underscore is universal in Swift and, to me at least, expressive and intuitive. > > >> On Jul 1, 2016 at 9:38 AM, <Diego Barros via swift-evolution >> <mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org>> wrote: >> >> When you want a simple `for` loop, for example: >> >> for _ in 1...10 { >> >> // do something 10 times >> >> } >> >> >> >> Clean-up and simplify the syntax by removing the superfluous underscore and >> `in`: >> >> >> >> for 1...10 { >> >> // do something 10 times >> >> >> } >> >> >> -- diego >> _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list >> swift-evolution@swift.org <mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org> >> https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution >> <https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution>_______________________________________________ > swift-evolution mailing list > swift-evolution@swift.org > https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
