While and do-While Loop: Swift

when he wrote:

var index = 0 while index < todo.count { println(todo[index]) index++ }

What does this mean? I have understood the course so far up until this point. What is going on?

1 Answer

It means:

We have an array "todo" with exact quantity of items in it, for example, 5. Loop starts from index = 0, which is less than 5 therefore run println element of array "todo" with index 0, then we increment index by 1. And so on...

Like this:

var index = 0 while 0 < 5 { println(todo[0]) index = 1 }

Then starts another loop with index = 1...
