<div dir="ltr">Thank you for help. Maybe I have over simplified my problem. In my first example, your advice was totally fine. But when I want to do something more complex, I could not figure out how to use it. For example, I want to print each step in my insertion sort. Like this:<div><br></div><div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)">for i in 1..<toSort.count{</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> var j: Int = i</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> while ((j > 0) && (toSort[j-1] > toSort[j])){</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> let temp: Int = toSort[j]</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> toSort[j] = toSort[j-1]</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> toSort[j-1] = temp</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> j--</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> print(toSort)</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> //Wait here.</font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"> } </font></div><div><font face="monospace, monospace" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)">}</font></div></div><div><br></div><div>I am looking for a solution without tearing the sorting algorithm into pieces.

Are you familiar with how events are delivered via the application runloop? Essentially, you should not create a top-level loop that waits for input; the application runloop does this for you. If you want to accumulate 50 clicks, create the counter variable in the appropriate NSResponder (or UIResponder on iOS), e.g. your root NSView or your NSViewController. Then override `func mouseDown(event: NSEvent)` and increment the counter there.<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
