Closures

Swift

// Closure Expressions
// The Sorted Method
let names = ["Chris", "Alex", "Ewa", "Barry", "Daniella"]
func backward(_ s1: String, _ s2: String) -> Bool {
    return s1 > s2
}
var reversedNames = names.sorted(by: backward)
// reversedNames is equal to ["Ewa", "Daniella", "Chris", "Barry", "Alex"]
reversedNames = names.sorted(by: { (s1: String, s2: String) -> Bool in
    return s1 > s2
})
// or
reversedNames = names.sorted(by: { (s1: String, s2: String) -> Bool in return s1 > s2 } )

JavaScript

// Closure Expressions
// The Sort Method
const names = ["Chris", "Alex", "Ewa", "Barry", "Daniella"]
function backward(s1, s2) {
    return s1 < s2
}
let reversedNames = names.sort(backward)
// reversedNames is equal to ["Ewa", "Daniella", "Chris", "Barry", "Alex"]
reversedNames = names.sort((s1, s2) => {
    return s1 < s2
})
// or
reversedNames = names.sort((s1, s2) => return s1 < s2)
