Swift Set – Remove

If you are working on Swift set collections, in some cases, you need to eliminate/delete a particular element from the set collection. In that case, using the remove() method is the best option.

Furthermore, if you want to know the element that is removed from the swift set, you can store the element in a variable and unwrap it using “!”.

Syntax:

swift_set.remove(element)

 
Where the swift_set is the set and element is the value/string to be removed from the swift_set.

Example 1:

Let’s create a Swift set with Integer type and remove an element.

//create a swift Set with Integer type
var swift_set1:Set<Int> = [100,200,300,400,56]

print("Actual Set - \(swift_set1)")

//remove element-100
var r1 = swift_set1.remove(100)

print("Final Set - \(swift_set1)")

//display the removed element
print("Removed Element is - \(r1!)")

 
Output:

Explanation:

Line 2:


Swift_set1 has 5 integer elements.

Line 7:


Using the remove() method, we remove the element 100 and store that removed element in the r1 variable.

Line 9:


We display the final set. Now, the remaining elements are displayed.

Line 12:


Finally, we display the removed element through ”!”.

Example 2:

Let’s create a Swift set with Double type and remove an element.

//create a swift Set with Double type
var swift_set1:Set<Double> = [9.1,9.2,9.300,9.67,9.34,6.78]

print("Actual Set - \(swift_set1)")

//remove element-9.67
var r1 = swift_set1.remove(9.67)

print("Final Set - \(swift_set1)")

//display the removed element
print("Removed Element is - \(r1!)")

 
Output:

Explanation:

Line 2:


Swift_set1 has 6 numeric elements of Double type.

Line 7:


Using the remove() method, we remove the element 9.67 and store that removed element in the r1 variable.

Line 9:


We display the final set. Now, the remaining elements are displayed.

Line 12:


Finally, we display the removed element through ”!”.

Example 3:

Let’s create a Swift set with String type and remove the elements.

//create a swift Set with String type
var swift_set1:Set<String> = ["swift1","swift2","swift3"]

print("Actual Set - \(swift_set1)")

//remove element-"swift1"
swift_set1.remove("swift1")

print("After removing swift-1 - \(swift_set1)")

//remove element-"swift3"
swift_set1.remove("swift3")

print("After removing swift-3 - \(swift_set1)")

 
Output:

Explanation:

Line 2:


Swift_set1 has 3 strings.

Line 7:


Using the remove() method, we remove the “swift1”.

Line 12:


Using the remove() method, we remove the “swift3”.

Now, if we display the set, only the “swift-2” is left.

Conclusion

The remove() method in swift set is used to remove a particular element from the given set. If you want to know the element that is removed from the swift set, you can store the element in a variable and unwrap it using “!”. We discussed the three examples of different data types to understand this concept better.
