Swift StaticFunction vs Java StaticFunction , is identifier needed in function declaration?

Question

Java:

public Static int myFunction(int n){
    ...
}

Swift:

import UIKit

var str = "Hello, playground"
print(str)

Static func (n: Int) -> Intdo {
    
}

xcode issues these: Use of unresolved identifier 'Static' Top-level statement cannot begin with a closure expression Expected identifier in function declaration Consecutive statements on a line must be separated by ';' Did you mean to use a 'do' statement? Closure expression is unused

You seemed to have answered your own question. Given all these errors, do you really think you can do Static func (n:Int)->Intdo { (whatever that is)? — Sweeper

None of the keywords in Swift or Java start with a capital. It's static, not Static. Your Java code isn't valid, either. Also, your swift function lacks a name, which is invalid. — Alexander

static vs class as class variable/method (Swift)

for adding Static before func name add a class to encapsulate the function defined as

class foo {
  static func hi() {
    println("hi")
  }
}

is a type method (i.e. a method that is called on the type itself) which also is final (i.e. cannot be overridden in a subclass).
