GROKKING LAZY SEQUENCES AND COLLECTIONS By / Brandon Kase @bkase_

PHOTOS
PROBLEMS There are a lot of photos Loading a photo's
data is expensive
PROBLEMS There are a lot of things Loading a thing
is expensive
HOLDING THINGS http://odditymall.com/includes/content/wall-mounted-hands-for-holding-stuff-0.jpg
HOLDING THINGS Arrays?
HOLDING THINGS let fetchresult = PHAsset.fetchAllAssets/*...*/()
HOLDING THINGS let fetchresult = PHAsset.fetchAllAssets/*...*/() var arr = [PHAsset]()
HOLDING THINGS let fetchresult = PHAsset.fetchAllAssets/*...*/() var arr = [PHAsset]()
fetchresult.enumerateAssetsUsingBlock { obj, /*...*/ arr.append(obj as! PHAsset) }
HOLDING THINGS let fetchresult = PHAsset.fetchAllAssets/*...*/() var arr = [PHAsset]()
fetchresult.enumerateAssetsUsingBlock { obj, /*...*/ arr.append(obj as! PHAsset) } // slowwwwww
HOLDING THINGS We need a Collection
GROUPS OF THINGS A Collection is an Indexable Sequence A
Sequence is an Iterator maker An Iterator can produce one or more Elements
ITERATORPROTOCOL protocol IteratorProtocol { associatedtype Element mutating func next() ->
Element? }
ITERATORPROTOCOL Let's say we want to iterate over the even
numbers https://i.ytimg.com/vi/A9NfHIIwNN4/maxresdefault.jpg
ITERATORPROTOCOL struct Evens: IteratorProtocol { var state: Int = 0
mutating func next() -> Int? { let curr = state state += 2 return .some(curr) } }
ITERATORPROTOCOL let s = Evens() for _ in 1...5 {
print(s.next()!) // 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 }
SEQUENCE Recall: A Sequence is an Iterator maker http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/media/images/80295000/jpg/_80295405_thinking522738989.jpg
ITERATORPROTOCOL struct Evens: IteratorProtocol, Sequence
SEQUENCE for x in Evens().prefix(5) { print(x) // 0, 2,
4, 6, 8 }
SEQUENCE http://customer-blog-images.s3.amazonaws.com/questions.jpg
SEQUENCE extension Sequence where Iterator == Self, Self: IteratorProtocol {
func makeIterator() -> Iterator { return self } }
SEQUENCE http://www.thedirtondusters.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WHAT-ELSE-NO-TEXT.jpg
SEQUENCE for x in someSequence { print(x) }
SEQUENCE map, filter, reduce prefix, dropFirst much, much more
SEQUENCE must be able to produce an iterator could be
one-pass or multipass could be finite or infinite
COLLECTION http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/media/images/80295000/jpg/_80295405_thinking522738989.jpg
COLLECTION protocol Collection: Sequence, Indexable
COLLECTION http://friendlycomputersspokane.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/photo-stack.jpg
COLLECTION struct PhotosMetadata: Collection { /*...*/ var startIndex: Int {
/*...*/ } var endIndex: Int { /*...*/ } func index(after i: Int) -> Int { /*...*/ } subscript(i: Int) -> PHAsset { /*...*/ } }
COLLECTION Why do we need to deal with the index
crap? struct PhotosMetadata: Collection { /*...*/ var startIndex: Int { /*...*/ } var endIndex: Int { /*...*/ } func index(after i: Int) -> Int { /*...*/ } subscript(i: Int) -> PHAsset { /*...*/ } }
COLLECTION RULES has addressable positions (index) must support multipass iteration
exists a one-to-one mapping of indices to elements No infinite structures! expect O(1) subscript access
COLLECTION Non-integer indices are useful: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/CPT-LinkedLists-deletingnode.svg/380px-CPT- LinkedLists-deletingnode.svg.png
COLLECTION struct PhotosMetadata: Collection {
COLLECTION private let base: PHFetchResult init(_ base: PHFetchResult) { self.base
= base }
COLLECTION var startIndex: Int { return 0 }
COLLECTION var endIndex: Int { return base.count }
COLLECTION func index(after i: Int) -> Int { return i
+ 1 }
COLLECTION subscript(i: Int) -> PHAsset { return base[i] as! PHAsset
}
PHOTOS let a = PhotosMetadata(PHAsset.fetchAllAssets/*...*/()) // not slow!
PHOTOS Now we want to turn our PHAssets into Photos
PHOTOS struct Photo { let url: NSURL /*...*/ }
PHOTOS let metadata: PhotosMetadata let photos = metadata.map{ Photo(url: $0.url)
} // slowwww
PHOTOS Delay metadata load
PHOTOS Delay operations on collections or sequences

RECAP
RECAP Collections hold our photo metadata and photos
RECAP Collections hold our photo metadata and photos LazyCollection's map
transforms our data
RECAP Collections hold our photo metadata and photos LazyCollection's map
transforms our data AnyCollection gives maintainable type signatures
RECAP Collections hold our photo metadata and photos LazyCollection's map
transforms our data AnyCollection gives maintainable type signatures We can create new operators that compose
FINALLY Our app works!
P.S. IBM Swift Sandbox is legit Check out Unary indexed
collections in appendix
GROK IT? By / Slide Deck: Brandon Kase @bkase_ https://is.gd/mEvKbt
APPENDIX
EAGER Eager (or strict) is the opposite of lazy Computed
always
EAGER class A { var eagerField: Int = 1 +
1 /* ... */ }
LAZY class A { lazy var lazyField: Int = 1
+ 1 /* ... */ }
EAGER GROUPS OF THINGS
EAGER GROUPS OF THINGS Eager means operations on the groups
of things are eager The groups of things themselves can be strict or lazy
UNARY
UNARY let u: Unary</*...*/> u[""] // 1st element u["x"] //
2st element u["xx"] // 3st element u["xxx"] // 4st element
UNARY Given any input collection addressable via Ints, Create a
collection addressable via unary numbers!
UNARY More powerful than overriding the subscript operator!
UNARY print(u.lazy.map{ x in x + 1 }["xxx"])
UNARY Let's build it
UNARY struct Unary<C: Collection>: Collection where C.Index == Int, C.IndexDistance
== Int {
UNARY { var startIndex: String { /*...*/ } var endIndex:
String { /*...*/ } func index(after i: String) -> String { /*...*/ } subscript(i: String) -> C.Iterator.Element { /*...*/ } }
UNARY private let xs: C init(_ xs: C) { self.xs
= xs }
UNARY var startIndex: String { return "" }
UNARY /// O(n) endIndex var endIndex: String { return String((0...xs.count).map{
_ in "x"}) }
UNARY func index(after i: String) -> String { return i
+ "x" }
UNARY subscript(i: String) -> C.Iterator.Element { return xs[i.characters.count] }
UNARY let u: Unary<Array<Int>> = Unary([1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6]) print(u.lazy.map{ x in x + 1 }["xxx"])
COLLECTION-INDEX VARIANTS How can you move to the next index?
Collection (ForwardDirection) Go forward in O(1) BidirectionalCollection Go forward or backward in O(1) RandomAccessCollection Get the difference between two indices in O(1)
TYPE ERASURE
TYPE ERASURE Type erasure works by moving the type info
to the constructor
TYPE ERASURE // one of the inits for AnySequence init<S
: Sequence where S.Iterator.Element == Element, S.SubSequence : Sequence, S.SubSequence.Iterator.Element == Element, S.SubSequence.SubSequence == S.SubSequence>(_ base: S)
