Swift Functional Programming - Second Edition

Methods

Methods are functions that are associated with a particular type. Instance methods are functions that are called on an instance of a particular type. Type methods are functions that are called on the type itself.

The following example presents a class containing a type method that is named someTypeMethod():

class AClass {     class func someTypeMethod() {         // type method body     } } // We can call this method as follows: AClass.someTypeMethod()
