Ok, this is pretty basic stuff though. You may have a closer look at the swift basic course:

func greeting() {
println("Hello")
}

you create a function with the key word "func" followed by the name you wanna give it. As we donΒ΄t pass anything TO that function, this name will be followed by empty brackets "()" Within "{" and "}" you write every code you want to have executed, when this function is called.

to call a function, in this case "greeting" you just do as follow:

greeting()

i hope this points you in the right direction ;-) Keep going, donΒ΄t give up
