The _ is used to define that the parameter is not named
If you have multiple _ it states that you do not need to name the parameters in your function call
func myFunc(name:String, _ age:String){
}
myFunc(“Milo", "I'm a really old wizard")
If you do not use the underscore you would use
myFunc(“Milo”, age: "I'm a really old wizard")
The _ is not necessary in function calls. It is just used to indicate that something does not to have a name.
In regards to how you would refer to your function, You would not have to pass any name for the function call.
But since you also don’t define a parameter type this seems to me like a invalid example (it at least doesn’t work in xCode 7 with swift 2.0)
Edit:
Since swift 3.0
myFunc(name: “Milo”, age: "I'm a really old wizard")
Should be used
