How can I do an If Statement with Actions?

I know how to use it with outlets but how do I do it with actions? Example : How can I make it so that if my button is tapped 3 times, a piece of text will be displayed? This was a bit hard to explain!

try putting the button click event into a while loop and have a variable that gets 1 added to it every revolution. then after the while statement have something like. If x = 3 then do something, else keep going.

Hey Egor,

Something like this would solve your problem. Have an int variable that contains the amount of times a button was tapped and each time the button is tapped the IBAction associated with that button will be executed and you increment your count. 

var count: Int = 0 // Amount of times taped
@IBAction func ButtonTaped(sender: AnyObject) {
    count += 1 // Increments the count
    if (count == 3) { // Check amount of taps
        // Display Text Here
    }
}

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask!
