And one more realization of previously provided ideas. Firstly, up to Swift current documentation, it is better to choose names in past simple tense for functions that produce some result and present tense for mutating ones. As second, as for me, it is better to choose half adding count % 2 to give more uniformed result.

Here is it:

extension Array {
    func splitted() -> ([Element], [Element]) {
        let half = count / 2 + count % 2
        let head = self[0..

And results:

let set1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8]
let set2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
let set3 = [1]
let set4 = [Int]()

print(set1.splitted())
print(set2.splitted())
print(set3.splitted())
print(set4.splitted())

([1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8])
([1, 2, 3], [4, 5])
([1], [])
([], [])
