8,386 PointsIf you want an external and internal name, you list the external name followed by a space and then the internal name and then the type.
func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
return a % b
}
To call the function you would write: getRemainder(value: 10, divisor: 2)
Compare this to a version of the function with one name per parameter:
func getRemainder(a: Int, b: Int) -> Int {
return a % b
}
Or this example might make it easier to understand:
func getRemainder(externalA internalA: Int, externalB internalB: Int) -> Int {
return internalA % internalB
}
getRemainder(externalA: 10, externalB: 2)
Hope that helps.
