iOS Functions in Swift Adding Power to Functions Function Scope

Is there a point in not having an argument without a label?

I mean, the code looks definitely cleaner if you write

someFunction(1, 3)

than

someFunction(value: 1, divisor: 3)

however, later with big projects it seems a little bit contraproductive as you will easily forget what these arguments stands for and you will have to find it.

So, is there any rule when we could/should should an argument without a label?

It's about personal preferences, but I'd use no labels for 1 or 2 arguments and use labels for 3 or more arguments.

It's up to you!

That's pretty clever, I have to say :)
