In Apple's official book "The Swift Programming Language", it says :"... To insert another string at a specified index, use the splice(_:atIndex:) method.." in String section, this is weird because there isn't this splice() method. Instead it should be insertContentsOf(). So is the book wrong or?

This is taken from the Xcode 7 beta 6 release notes:

The method RangeReplaceableCollectionType.extend() was renamed to appendContentsOf(),

and the splice() method was renamed to insertContentsOf(). (21972324)

It seems the Swift book you use is not properly updated yet.

I think the latest online version The Swift Programming Language (Swift 2) should reflect the latest changes, and if not, you can send a Bug Report.

Thanks! I didn't know there is a "iOS Developer Library - Prerelease". The link you provided did reflect the changes.
