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)
            }
        }
    }
}

如果您确实需要这种行为，那么您需要的是Dictionary而不是Array。字典在访问缺少的键时返回nil，这是有意义的，因为要知道一个键是否存在于字典中要困难得多，因为这些键可以是任何东西，而在数组中，键必须在一个范围内:0才能计数。在这个范围内迭代是非常常见的，在这个范围内，您可以绝对确定在循环的每次迭代中都有一个真实的值。

我认为它不能这样工作的原因是Swift开发人员的设计选择。举个例子:

var fruits: [String] = ["Apple", "Banana", "Coconut"]
var str: String = "I ate a \( fruits[0] )"

如果您已经知道索引的存在，就像您在使用数组的大多数情况下所做的那样，那么这段代码非常棒。然而，如果访问下标可能返回nil，那么您已经将Array的下标方法的返回类型更改为可选。这将更改您的代码为:

var fruits: [String] = ["Apple", "Banana", "Coconut"]
var str: String = "I ate a \( fruits[0]! )"
//                                     ^ Added

这意味着每次遍历数组或使用已知索引执行其他操作时，都需要展开一个可选对象，因为很少会访问出界索引。Swift的设计者选择了更少的可选项的展开，以访问越界索引时的运行时异常为代价。崩溃比由数据中某个地方的nil导致的逻辑错误更可取。

我同意他们的观点。因此，您不会更改默认的Array实现，因为您将破坏所有期望从数组中获得非可选值的代码。

相反，您可以继承Array的子类，并重写下标以返回可选对象。或者，更实际地说，您可以使用非下标方法来扩展Array。

extension Array {

    // Safely lookup an index that might be out of bounds,
    // returning nil if it does not exist
    func get(index: Int) -> T? {
        if 0 <= index && index < count {
            return self[index]
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }
}

var fruits: [String] = ["Apple", "Banana", "Coconut"]
if let fruit = fruits.get(1) {
    print("I ate a \( fruit )")
    // I ate a Banana
}

if let fruit = fruits.get(3) {
    print("I ate a \( fruit )")
    // never runs, get returned nil
}

Swift 3更新

func get(index: Int) ->T?需要func get(index: Int) ->元素?

你可以试试

if index >= 0 && index < array.count {
    print(array[index]) 
}

            if let element = newValue {

            }
        }

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
            }
        }
    }
}

不知道为什么没有人，已经提出了一个扩展，也有一个setter自动增长数组

extension Array where Element: ExpressibleByNilLiteral {
    public subscript(safe index: Int) -> Element? {
        get {
            guard index >= 0, index < endIndex else {
                return nil
            }

            return self[index]
        }

        set(newValue) {
            if index >= endIndex {
                self.append(contentsOf: Array(repeating: nil, count: index - endIndex + 1))
            }

            self[index] = newValue ?? nil
        }
    }
}

使用很容易，工作在Swift 5.1

var arr:[String?] = ["A","B","C"]

print(arr) // Output: [Optional("A"), Optional("B"), Optional("C")]

arr[safe:10] = "Z"

print(arr) // [Optional("A"), Optional("B"), Optional("C"), nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, Optional("Z")]

注意:你应该理解在swift中增长数组时的性能成本(在时间/空间上)-但对于小问题，有时你只需要让swift停止自己的swift
