OIC.
Your solution doesn’t work in Swift 3, because the String.init (_:) method has been renamed to String.init (describing:), and actually produces a textual description of the string index:
Index(_base: Swift.String.UnicodeScalarView.Index(_position: 1), _countUTF16: 0)
However, if you want to format the number of characters in a string, you can do it directly like this:
let a = "a"
let s = String (format: "ť", a.characters.count) // “characters” mean grapheme clusters in Swift
print (s) // -> " 1”
Or you can use a.unicodeScalars.count (for counting code points), or a.utf16.count (for counting UTF-16 code units), if one of those is the count you want instead.
