I am attempting pass a function to another function and then have the passed function executed passing to it a variable.

Here is my code:

Rob's answer is correct, though I'd like to share an example of a simple working callback / completion handler, you can download an example project below and experiment with the getBoolValue's input.

Swift 5:

func getBoolValue(number : Int, completion: (Bool)->()) {
    if number > 5 {
        completion(true)
    } else {
        completion(false)
    }
}

getBoolValue(number: 2) { (result) -> () in
    // do stuff with the result
    print(result)
}

Important to understand:

(String)->() // takes a String returns void
()->(String) // takes void returns a String
