[swift-corelibs-dev] Change in String.CharacterView.Index?

[Dennis Weissmann]

Hey Joe,

The collection index model changed:

https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0065-collections-move-indices.md

You now need to ask the collection for the next index:

let a = “Hello, World"
let secondIndex = a.characters.index(after: a.characters.startIndex)
print(a.characters[secondIndex]) // prints "e"
