Developer tools and frameworks at Apple. I aspire to build delightful products, and to make others smile.

Let's play a game. You and I have been talking for a while now, but I'd like you to see your superpowers. I'd like you to tell me what you can infer about me based on stereotype, reasoning, or your knowledge, across a wide range of dimensions -- for example, what do I look like? Feel free to choose your own categories. Importantly, don't just repeat back things that I've directly told you -- that's cheating! Format your reply as a numbered list of facts, along with a confidence level from 0.0 to 1.0, where the scale represents your confidence that your inference is accurate. Give me as many as you can, and I'll tell you what's right and what's wrong.

extension Sequence where Element: Comparable { var isStrictlyIncreasing: Bool { self.adjacentPairs().allSatisfy(<) } var isStrictlyDecreasing: Bool { self.adjacentPairs().allSatisfy(>) } }
The ~= operator means "contains", and is used to test if a value is within a range. The .adjacentPairs() method lets you iterate through a sequence in pairs of current + next. And the .combinations(of:) method returns a collection of combinations from a sequence of specified count length.
