How do I check if an array of tuples contains a particular one in Swift?

Question

Consider the following Swift code.

var a = [(1, 1)]

if contains(a, (1, 2)) {
    println(\"Yes\")
}

All I need is to check if a

Answer 1

Add the following to your code:

func contains(a:[(Int, Int)], v:(Int,Int)) -> Bool {
  let (c1, c2) = v
  for (v1, v2) in a { if v1 == c1 && v2 == c2 { return true } }
  return false
}

Swift is not that flexible when it comes to tuples. They do not conform to the Equatable protocol. So you must define that or use the above function.
