number of array elements at compile time

I want know the number of Array elements at compile time:

let sections = ["A","B","C"]

// I want fill later this Array with Arrays of type Product
var productsInSection = [[Product]](count:number of Array elements from sections array, repeatedValue:[])

my question is what I can use for: "number of Array elements from sections array" so I don't must have a look, if I change anytime

let sections = ["A","B","C","D"]

I don't understand why you need "compile time".

But I think count property is sufficient for what you want:

let sections = ["A","B","C"]
var productsInSection = [[Product]](count:sections.count, repeatedValue:[])

Added to answer the comment

For example:

private let _indexSectionTitles = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M", "N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z", "Ä","Ö","Ü", "#" ]

class MyClass{
    let indexSectionTitles = _indexSectionTitles
    var productsInSection = [[GlobalProduct]](count: _indexSectionTitles.count, repeatedValue: [])
}
