Swift: Should I Use `self` in ViewController Methods in Swift/iOS?-CodePudding

There are two way to call variables & methods in ViewController:

Case 1: Using self

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var count = 0;
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.count = 1
        self.myFunc()
    }

    func myFunc(){
       ...
    }
}

Case 2: Access directly

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var count = 0;
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        count = 1
        myFunc()
    }
    func myFunc(){
       ...
    }
}

Should I call variables and methods with the instance `self` in the scalable project at everywhere, or access them directly, as calling with the instance is a good way?

There is any difference between those two a function-calls in a class:

self.myFunc()

myFunc()

It is working in both ways. It make any difference?

CodePudding user response：

The best practice would be that we should avoid unnecessary calls with self.

It should be used when it's necessary like you want have a initialiser or a function with same name as your variable then you can use self to distinguish between both.
Another place would be the clousure.
