[swift-users] What are these types with regular expressions?

[Saagar Jha]

Swift String indexing and sub scripting is different than other languages.
Instead of using Ints, Strings use their own Indexes (a String.Index). To
get an index, you can use the String's startIndex property and then use
advancedBy on it. The Swift Programming Language has more details:
