How i can collect array's values as number? - arrays

Question

i want from tableview to collect MyArray's as value like
Swift:
let total = UILabel()
var MyArray = ["2", "9", "33", "4"]
total.text = ?? // i want result be like this [2+9+33+4] = 48
and if add some value or remove some the result change
i hope i delivered right question and i hope i get the right answer

Answer 1

Iterate through your array, using conditional binding, if the value is invalid, e.g "hello", it won't enter the condition.
var result = 0
for element in MyArray { // MyArray should have the first letter lowercased and have a more meaningful name.
if let number = Int(element) { // or NSNumber, Double, etc...
result = result + number
}
}
total.text = "\(result)" // consider naming it totalLabel

Answer 2

Convert the myArray elements type from String to Double using compactMap. Then add the elements using reduce method. Then convert the result to string to show in label.
var myArray = ["2", "9", "33", "4", "wot?", "🐶"]
total.text = String(myArray.lazy.compactMap{ Double($0) }.reduce(0, +))//48.0

Answer 3

Two suggestions:
With reduce to sum up the values and ignore non-integer values
total.text = String(myArray.reduce(0, {$0 + (Int($1) ?? 0)}))
With NSExpression if the array contains only string representations of integers. joined converts the array to "2+9+33+4"
let additionExpression = NSExpression(format: myArray.joined(separator: "+"))
total.text = "\(additionExpression.expressionValue(with: nil, context: nil)!)"

Answer 4

There are two steps::
Calculate the total.
Consider:
let array = ["200", "900", "33", "4"]
let total = array
.lazy
.compactMap { Double($0) }
.reduce(0, +)
Note, unlike other suggestions, I’m refraining from placing this in a single line of code (although one could). The goal of functional programming patterns is to write expressive yet efficient code about which it is easy to reason. Placing all of this onto one line is contrary to that goal, IMHO, though it is arguably a matter of personal preference.
Setting the text of the label.
When setting the text of the label, it’s very tempting to want to just do String(total). But that is not a very user-friendly presentation (e.g. the sum 1,137 will be shown as “1137.0”). Nor is it localized.
The typical solution when displaying a result (whether numbers, dates, time intervals, etc.) in the user interface is to use a “formatter”. In the case of numeric values, one would typically use a NumberFormatter:
let formatter = NumberFormatter()
formatter.numberStyle = .decimal
label.text = formatter.string(for: total)
For a user in the US, that will show “1,137”, whereas the German user will see “1.137”. So each device sees the number presented in a format consistent with the users’ localization preferences.
