Static function variables in Swift

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to declare a static variable scoped only locally to a function in Swift.

In C, this might look something like this:

int         


        

Answer 1

Another solution

func makeIncrementerClosure() -> () -> Int {
    var timesCalled = 0
    func incrementer() -> Int {
        timesCalled += 1
        return timesCalled
    }
    return incrementer
}

let foo = makeIncrementerClosure()
foo()  // returns 1
foo()  // returns 2
