componentsSeparatedByString() Error in Swift 3

Question

var numbers = "Hello,Goodbye,Hi,Bye"
var numbersArr = numbers.componentsSeparatedByString(",")

//["Hello"."Goodbye","Hi","Bye"]

Above is a basic representation of what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to use componentsSeparatedByString() to split a string with commas into an array, where each of the components of the array are between each of the commas from the original strings.

I am using IBM Swift Sandbox (Sorry, I'm on windows :) ), and in Swift 3.0, I am getting this error message:

value of type 'String' has no member 'componentsSeparatedByString'

I know Swift 3 is rather new, and is that is why I couldn't find ANY other references for this error.

Answer 1

It looks like there is a components(separatedBy:) on String:

import Foundation

let words = "apple binary cat delta echo".components(separatedBy: " ")
print(words)
