Get playground to display all loop results

Question

I'm using an xcode 7 playground, and I want to know how to make the playground display all the results printed out by a loop.

for example:

This will tell me the loop ran 4 times, but it will only display the last value of the iteration. Is there a way I can make it show all values?

Open the debug area below by pressing the middle icon in the upper right corner of Xcode. — vacawama, Oct 23 '15 at 01:46

Right click on the inline quick look (the gray rounded rectangle with "4" in it). There's an option to show all the results in a list:

You can also show everything that's been printed to the console for the entire playground execution by clicking the show debug area button all the way in the bottom left corner:

Right click doesn't seem to do anything in my version – Ben Oct 23 '15 at 05:52
Are you using a mouse? or using ctrl-click on a trackpad? – Ben Oct 23 '15 at 18:28
ctrl-click on a trackpad worked for me. You can also select it with a left click (it'll highlight in blue) and then go to Editor -> Result Display Mode -> Value History in the menu bar. – Jack Lawrence Oct 23 '15 at 21:28

There was a bug in Xcode 7 that made some kinds of right-click-esque actions not trigger the menu, so you might want to update to Xcode 7.1. – Jack Lawrence Oct 23 '15 at 21:29

In xcode 7, right clicking with a mouse on the display box will give you the correct dropdown menu. However, Ctrl-clicking with the track pad on a macbook will not give the correct dropdown menu. You have to select it under the Editor menu.

This bug goes away in xcode 7.1

You can see the results directly on the Debug Area

(or)

click anywhere on the line where your print method is defined and follow the below steps

 1. Editor -> Show Results for Current Line Editor
 2. Editor -> Result Display Mode -> Value History

Vice versa, you can hide the print details by

 Editor -> Hide Results for Current Line
