We’ve convered some of the basic transforming operators, so let’s take a look at a few more that are a tad more complex.

example(of: "scan") {
  // 1
  var dailyGainLoss: Int { .random(in: -10...10) }

  // 2
  let august2019 = (0..<22)
    .map { _ in dailyGainLoss }
    .publisher

  // 3
  august2019
    .scan(50) { latest, current in
      max(0, latest + current)
    }
    .sink(receiveValue: { _ in })
    .store(in: &subscriptions)
}
example(of: "flatMap") {
  // 1
  let charlotte = Chatter(name: "Charlotte", message: "Hi, I'm Charlotte!")
  let james = Chatter(name: "James", message: "Hi, I'm James!")

  // 2
  let chat = CurrentValueSubject<Chatter, Never>(charlotte)

  // 3
  chat
    .sink(receiveValue: { print($0.message.value) })
    .store(in: &subscriptions)
}
charlotte.message.value = "Charlotte: How's it going?"

chat.value = james

chat
  // 6
  .flatMap { $0.message }
  // 7
  .sink(receiveValue: { print($0) })
  .store(in: &subscriptions)

james.message.value = "James: Doing great. You?"
charlotte.message.value = "Charlotte: I'm doing fine thanks."
