Rotate Array in Swift

Edit update:

Swift 5 or later

extension RangeReplaceableCollection {
    func rotatingLeft(positions: Int) -> SubSequence {
        let index = self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: positions, limitedBy: endIndex) ?? endIndex
        return self[index...] + self[..<index]
    }
    mutating func rotateLeft(positions: Int) {
        let index = self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: positions, limitedBy: endIndex) ?? endIndex
        let slice = self[..<index]
        removeSubrange(..<index)
        insert(contentsOf: slice, at: endIndex)
    }
}

extension RangeReplaceableCollection {
    func rotatingRight(positions: Int) -> SubSequence {
        let index = self.index(endIndex, offsetBy: -positions, limitedBy: startIndex) ?? startIndex
        return self[index...] + self[..<index]
    }
    mutating func rotateRight(positions: Int) {
        let index = self.index(endIndex, offsetBy: -positions, limitedBy: startIndex) ?? startIndex
        let slice = self[index...]
        removeSubrange(index...)
        insert(contentsOf: slice, at: startIndex)
    }
}

var test = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
test.rotateLeft(positions: 3)   // [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3]

var test2 = "1234567890"
test2.rotateRight(positions: 3)   // "8901234567"

We can use Slice

func rotLeft(a: [Int], d: Int) -> [Int] {
    let slice1 = a[..<d]
    let slice2 = a[d...]
    return Array(slice2) + Array(slice1)
}

print(rotLeft(a:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], d: 4))

//prints [5, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Why create a reverse function when we already have it in the Swift standard library? My solution (derived from Leo Dabus'):

extension Array {
    mutating func rotate(positions: Int, size: Int? = nil) {
        let size = size ?? count
        guard positions < count && size <= count else { return }

        self[0..<positions].reverse()
        self[positions..<size].reverse()
        self[0..<size].reverse()
    }
}
