How to loop through arrays starting at different index while still looping through entire array in swift?

Question

I want to start loop through array at index (say “5” or any other) instead of beginning of the array in swift

for (index, value) in array.enumerate() {
  // do something 
}

Use dropFirst to ignore the first items:

for (index, value) in array.enumerated().dropFirst(5) {
    // your code here
}

Use the where clause

for (index, value) in array.enumerate() where index > 4 { ...

By the way: Update your Swift version. Swift 2 is dead
