Find closest longitude and latitude in array from user location - iOS Swift

Question

In the question posted here, the user asked:

I have an array full of longitudes and latitudes. I have two double variables with my users location. I\'d like

Answer 1

var closestLocation: CLLocation?
var smallestDistance: CLLocationDistance?

for location in locations {
  let distance = currentLocation.distanceFromLocation(location)
  if smallestDistance == nil || distance < smallestDistance {
    closestLocation = location
    smallestDistance = distance
  }
}

print("smallestDistance = \(smallestDistance)")

or as a function:

func locationInLocations(locations: [CLLocation], closestToLocation location: CLLocation) -> CLLocation? {
  if locations.count == 0 {
    return nil
  }

  var closestLocation: CLLocation?
  var smallestDistance: CLLocationDistance?

  for location in locations {
    let distance = location.distanceFromLocation(location)
    if smallestDistance == nil || distance < smallestDistance {
      closestLocation = location
      smallestDistance = distance
    }
  }

  print("closestLocation: \(closestLocation), distance: \(smallestDistance)")
  return closestLocation
}
