Swift version: 5.6
Like regular functions, closures can accept values and return values of your choosing: just write them out at the start of your closure, followed by the word in
.
For example, we could write a greeting
closure that accepts the name of a person to greet and returns a string using that name:
let greeting = { (name: String) -> String in
return "Hello, \(name)!"
}
You can now call that just like any other function, passing in someone’s name as its only parameter:
let message = greeting("Taylor")
