swift - Difference between NSRange and NSMakeRange

Question

Is there any difference between:

NSRange(location: 0, length: 5)

and:

NSMakeRange(0, 5)

Because Swiftlint throws a warning when I use NSMakeRange, but I don't know why.

Thanks for the Help :-)

Answer 1

The only difference between them is that

NSRange(location: 0, length: 5)

is an initializer for NSRange while

NSMakeRange(0, 5)

is a function which creates a new NSRange instance (by using the same initializer inside most likely) and actually is redundant in Swift. Swift has simply inherited it from Objective-C. I would stick to the former
