function - 返回一个函数 vs 返回一个闭包

Question

在 Swift 中，据我了解，闭包会保留其环境，而普通函数则不会。

考虑下面的 f(返回一个函数)和 h(返回一个闭包)。 f()() 和 h()() 都返回 3。为什么 f()() 不会导致运行时错误？

func f() -> () -> Int { 
    let a = 3
    func g() -> Int { 
        return a
    } 
    return g 
} 

func h() -> () -> Int {
    let a = 3
    return { () in a }
}

Answer 1

你写的不完全正确，因为根据 documentation :

Global functions are closures that have a name and do not capture any values.

Nested functions are closures that have a name and can capture values from their enclosing function.

Closure expressions are unnamed closures written in a lightweight syntax that can capture values from their surrounding context.

所以 g() 确实捕获值。
