Get index for closest value in array – Ios swift

Using the code from this answer to find the closest value in an array: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62159057

func closestMatch(values: [Int64], inputValue: Int64) -> Int64? {
   return (values.reduce(values[0]) { abs($0-inputValue) < abs($1-inputValue) ? $0 : $1 })
}

How can I get the index of the item that matches closest instead of its value?

    Solved it with firstIndex. Not super elegant but it works.

    func closestMatch(values: [Int], inputValue: Int) -> Int? {
    let match = values.reduce(values[0]) { abs($0-inputValue) < abs($1-inputValue) ? $0 : $1 }
    let index = values.firstIndex(where: {$0 == match})
    return index
}

    Because the array is sorted, a fast solution would be to do a binary search.

    Should be easy to modify this implementation (or others in the same post) to fit your purpose.
