Swift的功能和方法有什么区别？

Swift中的功能

Functions are self-contained chunks of code that perform a specific
task. You give a function a name that identifies what it does,and
this name is used to “call” the function to perform its task when
needed.

功能参数名称

However,these parameter names are only used within the body of the
function itself,and cannot be used when calling the function. These
kinds of parameter names are known as local parameter names,because
they are only available for use within the function’s body.

这意味着默认情况下，Function的所有参数都是本地参数。

但是，有时我们想要指出每个参数的目的。所以我们可以为每个参数定义一个外部参数名称。代码示例：

func someFunction(externalParameterName localParameterName: Int) {
    // function body goes here,and can use localParameterName
    // to refer to the argument value for that parameter
}

使外部参数名称的另一种方法是使用哈希符号(#)来缩短名称。

func someFunction(#localParameterName: Int) {
    // function body goes here,and can use localParameterName
    // to refer to the argument value for that parameter
}

要使用外部参数调用上述函数，可以使用

someFunction(localParameterName:10)

Swift方法

Methods are functions that are associated with a particular type.
Classes,structures,and enumerations can all define instance methods,
which encapsulate specific tasks and functionality for working with an
instance of a given type.

资源：Official Apple Documentation on Methods in Swift

However,the default behavior of local names and external names is
different for functions and methods.

Specifically,Swift gives the first parameter name in a method a local
parameter name by default,and gives the second and subsequent
parameter names both local and external parameter names by default.

下面的代码显示了Swift中方法的默认和非默认参数的差异。

import Foundation
import UIKit

class ViewController2: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        //Default methods calling
        var dailyStatement = greet("Rick",day: "Tuesday")
        println(dailyStatement)

        //First parameter is also an external parameter
        var dailyStatement2 = greet2(name:"John",day: "Sunday")
        println(dailyStatement2)
    }

    //Default: First Parameter is the local parameter,the rest are external parameters
    func greet (name: String,today is (day)."
    }

    //Use Hash symbol to make the First parameter as external parameter
    func greet2 (#name: String,today is (day)."
    }
}

我可能会想念一些重要的细节。希望有人能提供更好的答案。
