Using Stride in Swift 2.0

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to use the Stride features in Swift.

It seems to have changed again, since Xcode 7.0 beta 6.

Previously I could use

let strideAmount = stride(from: 0, to: items.count, by: splitSize)
let sets = strideAmount.map({ clients[$0..<advance($0, splitSize, items.count)] })

Now, despite the code hint I cannot figure out how to use this feature.

Any examples would be helpful thanks.

I've looked at examples, but I cannot come to grips with how to use it. All I get from the Apple Docs are limited.

Thanks

It changed a bit, here is the new syntax:

0.stride(to: 10, by: 2)

and

Array(0.stride(to: 10, by: 2)) // is [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]

if you take a look at here, you can see what types conform to the Strideable protocol.

As @RichFox pointed out, in Swift 3.0 the syntax changed back to the original global function form like:

stride(from:0, to: 10, by: 2)
