适用于Swift 2

尽管这个问题已经被回答过很多次了，但我想给出一个更符合Swift编程时尚走向的答案，用Crusty的话来说就是:“先考虑协议”。

• What do we want to do? - Get an Element of an Array given an Index only when it's safe, and nil otherwise • What should this functionality base it's implementation on? - Array subscripting • Where does it get this feature from? - Its definition of struct Array in the Swift module has it • Nothing more generic/abstract? - It adopts protocol CollectionType which ensures it as well • Nothing more generic/abstract? - It adopts protocol Indexable as well... • Yup, sounds like the best we can do. Can we then extend it to have this feature we want? - But we have very limited types (no Int) and properties (no count) to work with now! • It will be enough. Swift's stdlib is done pretty well ;)

extension Indexable {
    public subscript(safe safeIndex: Index) -> _Element? {
        return safeIndex.distanceTo(endIndex) > 0 ? self[safeIndex] : nil
    }
}

不正确，但它给出了一个概念

快5.倍

RandomAccessCollection的扩展意味着它也可以用于ArraySlice的单个实现。我们使用startIndex和endIndex作为数组切片使用底层父数组的索引。

public extension RandomAccessCollection {

    /// Returns the element at the specified index if it is within bounds, otherwise nil.
    /// - complexity: O(1)
    subscript (safe index: Index) -> Element? {
        guard index >= startIndex, index < endIndex else {
            return nil
        }
        return self[index]
    }
    
}

Alex的回答对这个问题有很好的建议和解决方案，然而，我碰巧发现了一个更好的实现这个功能的方法:

extension Collection {
    /// Returns the element at the specified index if it is within bounds, otherwise nil.
    subscript (safe index: Index) -> Element? {
        return indices.contains(index) ? self[index] : nil
    }
}

例子

let array = [1, 2, 3]

for index in -20...20 {
    if let item = array[safe: index] {
        print(item)
    }
}

因为数组可以存储nil值，如果数组[index]调用越界，返回nil是没有意义的。 因为我们不知道用户想如何处理越界问题，所以使用自定义操作符没有意义。 相反，使用传统的控制流来展开对象并确保类型安全。

if let index = array.checkIndexForSafety(index:Int) let item = array[safeIndex: index] if let index = array.checkIndexForSafety(index:Int) array[safeIndex: safeIndex] = myObject

extension Array {

    @warn_unused_result public func checkIndexForSafety(index: Int) -> SafeIndex? {

        if indices.contains(index) {

            // wrap index number in object, so can ensure type safety
            return SafeIndex(indexNumber: index)

        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }

    subscript(index:SafeIndex) -> Element {

        get {
            return self[index.indexNumber]
        }

        set {
            self[index.indexNumber] = newValue
        }
    }

    // second version of same subscript, but with different method signature, allowing user to highlight using safe index
    subscript(safeIndex index:SafeIndex) -> Element {

        get {
            return self[index.indexNumber]
        }

        set {
            self[index.indexNumber] = newValue
        }
    }

}

public class SafeIndex {

    var indexNumber:Int

    init(indexNumber:Int){
        self.indexNumber = indexNumber
    }
}

基于Nikita Kukushkin的回答，有时候你需要安全地赋值给数组下标，也需要从它们中读取。

myArray[safe: badIndex] = newValue

因此，这里是对Nikita的答案(Swift 3.2)的更新，通过添加safe:参数名，也允许安全写入可变数组索引。

extension Collection {
    /// Returns the element at the specified index if it is within bounds, otherwise nil.
    subscript(safe index: Index) -> Element? {
        return indices.contains(index) ? self[index] : nil
    }
}

extension MutableCollection {
    subscript(safe index: Index) -> Element? {
        get {
            return indices.contains(index) ? self[index] : nil
        }

        set(newValue) {
            if let newValue = newValue, indices.contains(index) {
                self[index] = newValue
            }
        }
    }
}

我发现安全数组获取，设置，插入，删除非常有用。我更倾向于记录并忽略错误，因为所有其他错误很快就会变得难以管理。完整代码如下

/**
 Safe array get, set, insert and delete.
 All action that would cause an error are ignored.
 */
extension Array {

    /**
     Removes element at index.
     Action that would cause an error are ignored.
     */
    mutating func remove(safeAt index: Index) {
        guard index >= 0 && index < count else {
            print("Index out of bounds while deleting item at index \(index) in \(self). This action is ignored.")
            return
        }

        remove(at: index)
    }

    /**
     Inserts element at index.
     Action that would cause an error are ignored.
     */
    mutating func insert(_ element: Element, safeAt index: Index) {
        guard index >= 0 && index <= count else {
            print("Index out of bounds while inserting item at index \(index) in \(self). This action is ignored")
            return
        }

        insert(element, at: index)
    }

    /**
     Safe get set subscript.
     Action that would cause an error are ignored.
     */
    subscript (safe index: Index) -> Element? {
        get {
            return indices.contains(index) ? self[index] : nil
        }
        set {
            remove(safeAt: index)

            if let element = newValue {
                insert(element, safeAt: index)
            }
        }
    }
}

测试

import XCTest

class SafeArrayTest: XCTestCase {
    func testRemove_Successful() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array.remove(safeAt: 1)

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 3])
    }

    func testRemove_Failure() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array.remove(safeAt: 3)

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 2, 3])
    }

    func testInsert_Successful() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array.insert(4, safeAt: 1)

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 4, 2, 3])
    }

    func testInsert_Successful_AtEnd() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array.insert(4, safeAt: 3)

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 2, 3, 4])
    }

    func testInsert_Failure() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array.insert(4, safeAt: 5)

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 2, 3])
    }

    func testGet_Successful() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        let element = array[safe: 1]

        XCTAssert(element == 2)
    }

    func testGet_Failure() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        let element = array[safe: 4]

        XCTAssert(element == nil)
    }

    func testSet_Successful() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array[safe: 1] = 4

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 4, 3])
    }

    func testSet_Successful_AtEnd() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array[safe: 3] = 4

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 2, 3, 4])
    }

    func testSet_Failure() {
        var array = [1, 2, 3]

        array[safe: 4] = 4

        XCTAssert(array == [1, 2, 3])
    }
}
