reduce dictionary into array of strings in swift

You can use the reduce function to convert the values of a dictionary into an array of strings. Here's an example:

main.swift
let myDict = ["one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3]

let myArray = myDict.reduce([]) { (result, tuple) -> [String] in
    let (key, value) = tuple
    return result + ["\(key): \(value)"]
}

print(myArray) // Output: ["one: 1", "two: 2", "three: 3"]
244 chars
9 lines

In this code, myDict is the dictionary that we want to convert into an array of strings. We use the reduce function on this dictionary to iterate over each key-value pair, and accumulate a new array of strings based on those values.

The reduce function takes an initial value for the result (in this case, an empty array) and a closure that specifies how to combine the current result with each key-value pair in the dictionary.

Inside that closure, we destructure the current tuple into its key and value components. We then combine the current result with a new array containing the string representation of the key-value pair, and return the resulting array.

At the end of this process, myArray will contain an array of strings representing each key-value pair in myDict.
