Answer 1

Okay map is not a good example of this, because its just same as looping, you can use reduce instead, it took each of your object to combine and turn into single value:

let myDictionary = myArray.reduce([Int: String]()) { (dict, person) -> [Int: String] in
    var dict = dict
    dict[person.position] = person.name
    return dict
}

//[2: "b", 3: "c", 1: "a"]

In Swift 4 or higher please use the below answer for clearer syntax.
