ViewsUsing closures as parameters without trailing closures Swift
When using trailing closure syntax it seems quite easy to pass a function as a parameter of another function.
However I want to do this WITHOUT using the trailing closure syntax
func doSomethingTwo(closure: (String) -> Void) {
closure("AAA")
}
doSomethingTwo(closure: print("TEST") )
gives Cannot convert value of type '()' to expected argument type '(String) -> Void'
I know that
doSomethingTwo{ (test: String) in
print ("\(test)")
}
works, but want this without the trailing closure syntax.
This is not a homework problem, I am looking at tutorials and have done research that has not given me an answer to this question.

You need to define your own print method to pass it as a parameter:
func doSomethingTwo(closure: (String) -> ()) {
// when you call the closure you need to pass the string to be printed
closure("TEST")
}
Define the method to print the string that will be passed to the closure:
let closure: (String) -> () = { print($0) }
Then you can call it as you wish:
doSomethingTwo(closure: closure)

This is how you call a function
doSomethingTwo()
If we follow the pattern, put () first, then comes with its parameter, you'll get something like this.
doSomethingTwo(closure: { (str) in
print(str)
})
By the way, Xcode will helps you to complete. But if you don't want its help, when you have this, don't tap, type the rest by your own.

You're not calling the function correctly. You should call it like this:
doSomethingTwo(closure: { (text) in
print(text)
})
