Apple says: You can use a CollectionOfOne instance when you need to efficiently represent a single value as a collection.

In simple words by using CollectionOfOne we can use any single value as collection

Suppose take an Example I have array of users :

let arrUsers = ["Pawan", "John", "Mike"]

Now I want new users array with new user

var arrUsers = ["Pawan", "John", "Mike"]
let newUser = "Brock" // New user
let arrNewUsers = arrUsers + [newUser]

So I created new user variable by appending into new users array by using [], but we have CollectionOfOne which can help us here to do it in better and cleaner way

var arrUsers = ["Pawan", "John", "Mike"]
let newUser = "Brock" // New user
let arrNewUsers = arrUsers + CollectionOfOne(newUser)

This is possible because CollectionOfOne confirms to collection protocol.
