Filtering arrays with complex conditions


We can use our new repository to restrict the results retrieved from more complex data. In this case, the getAll method returns an array of Game instances that we can use with the filter method to retrieve only the games that match certain conditions. The following lines declare a new getGamesWithHighestScoreGreaterThan method for our previously coded GameRepository class:

public func getGamesWithHighestScoreGreaterThan(score: Int) -> [Game] {
    return getAll().filter({ (game) in game.highestScore > score })
}

The getGamesWithHighestScoreGreaterThan method receives a score: Int argument and returns Array<Game>. The code calls the getAll and filter methods for the result with a closure that specifies the required condition for the games in the array to be returned in the new array. In this case, only the games whose highestScore value is greater than the score value received as an argument will appear in the resulting Array<Game>...
