@selector() in Swift?

Question

I\'m trying to create an NSTimer in Swift but I\'m having some trouble.

NSTimer(timeInterval: 1, target: self, selector: test(), us

Selectors are an internal representation of a method name in Objective-C. In Objective-C "@selector(methodName)" would convert a source-code method into a data type of SEL. Since you can't use the @selector syntax in Swift (rickster is on point there), you have to manually specify the method name as a String object directly, or by passing a String object to the Selector type. Here is an example:

var rightBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(
    title: "Logout", 
    style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, 
    target: self, 
    action:"logout"
)

or

var rightBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(
    title: "Logout", 
    style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, 
    target: self, 
    action:Selector("logout")
)
