Methods

Methods are functions that are associated with a particular type. Instance methods are functions that are called on an instance of a particular type. Type methods are functions that are called on the type itself.

The following example presents a class containing a type method that is named someTypeMethod():

class AClass { 
    class func someTypeMethod() { 
        // type method body 
    } 
} 
// We can call this method as follows: 
AClass.someTypeMethod()
