I ve so far got a simple but potentially expensive way var myMax sort myArray gt 0 And how I was taught to do it at school var myMax 0 for i in 0 myArray count if myArray i gt myMax myMax myArray i Is there a better way to get the maximum value from an integer Array in Swift Ideally something that s one line such as Ruby s max

Correct way to find max in an Array in Swift

Given:

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Swift 3:

numbers.min() // equals 1
numbers.max() // equals 5

Swift 2:

numbers.minElement() // equals 1
numbers.maxElement() // equals 5
