## Functions If you provide an external parameter name for a parameter, that external name must always be used when calling the function. ~~~ func join(string s1: String, toString s2: String, withJoiner joiner: String) -> String { return s1 + joiner + s2 } join(string: "hello", toString: "world", withJoiner: ", ") // returns "hello, world" ~~~ ~~~ func containsCharacter(#string: String, #characterToFind: Character) -> Bool { for character in string { if character == characterToFind { return true } } return false } let containsAVee = containsCharacter(string: "aardvark", characterToFind: "v") // containsAVee equals true, because "aardvark" contains a "v" ~~~ ~~~ func join(string s1: String, toString s2: String, withJoiner joiner: String = " ") -> String { return s1 + joiner + s2 } join(string: "hello", toString: "world", withJoiner: "-") // returns "hello-world” join(string: "hello", toString: "world") // returns "hello world" ~~~ ~~~ func join(s1: String, s2: String, joiner: String = " ") -> String { return s1 + joiner + s2 } join("hello", "world", joiner: "-") // returns "hello-world” 有默认值的参数，如果你没有使用外部参数名，Swift会自动提供一个和内部参数名一样的外部参数名 ~~~ ~~~ func arithmeticMean(numbers: Double...) -> Double { var total: Double = 0 for number in numbers { total += number } return total / Double(numbers.count) } arithmeticMean(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) // returns 3.0, which is the arithmetic mean of these five numbers arithmeticMean(3, 8, 19) // returns 10.0, which is the arithmetic mean of these three numbers ~~~ A function may have at most one variadic parameter, and it must always appear last in the parameter list, to avoid ambiguity when calling the function with multiple parameters. If your function has one or more parameters with a default value, and also has a variadic parameter, place the variadic parameter after all the defaulted parameters at the very end of the list. 形参默认是常量，如果要改变形参，需要用var显式声明为变量 // swift中有许多默认情况和主流（比如C\C++）语言都是相反的，它将更常见的情况设定为默认 ~~~ func alignRight(var string: String, count: Int, pad: Character) -> String { let amountToPad = count - countElements(string) for _ in 1...amountToPad { string = pad + string } return string } let originalString = "hello" let paddedString = alignRight(originalString, 10, "-") // paddedString is equal to "-----hello" // originalString is still equal to "hello" ~~~ In-out parameters cannot have default values, and variadic parameters cannot be marked as inout. If you mark a parameter as inout, it cannot also be marked as var or let. ~~~ func swapTwoInts(inout a: Int, inout b: Int) { // 类似于引用传参 let temporaryA = a a = b b = temporaryA } var someInt = 3 var anotherInt = 107 swapTwoInts(&someInt, &anotherInt) println("someInt is now \(someInt), and anotherInt is now \(anotherInt)") // prints "someInt is now 107, and anotherInt is now 3" ~~~ 像定义常量或变量一样定义函数： ~~~ var mathFunction: (Int, Int) -> Int = addTwoInts println("Result: \(mathFunction(2, 3))") // prints "Result: 5” let anotherMathFunction = addTwoInts // anotherMathFunction is inferred to be of type (Int, Int) -> Int ~~~ ~~~ func printMathResult(mathFunction: (Int, Int) -> Int, a: Int, b: Int) { println("Result: \(mathFunction(a, b))") } printMathResult(addTwoInts, 3, 5) // prints "Result: 8" ~~~ Swift支持嵌套函数： ~~~ func chooseStepFunction(backwards: Bool) -> (Int) -> Int { func stepForward(input: Int) -> Int { return input + 1 } func stepBackward(input: Int) -> Int { return input - 1 } return backwards ? stepBackward : stepForward } var currentValue = -4 let moveNearerToZero = chooseStepFunction(currentValue > 0) // moveNearerToZero now refers to the nested stepForward() function while currentValue != 0 { println("\(currentValue)... ") currentValue = moveNearerToZero(currentValue) } println("zero!") // -4... // -3... // -2... // -1... // zero! ~~~
