[swift-users] Looping through all values between UInt8.min and UInt8.max

[Peter Vertes]

You could cast the min and max values to an Int and iterate through the Int range:

let min = Int(UInt8.min)
let max = Int(UInt8.max)

for i in min...max {
    print(i)
}

While this will work it seems like a hack to me and Milos’ solution is more elegant…
