Swift 2.1 Closure - swift

Question

At first, I apologize for my English!
Please help me detect when I was wrong.
let arrayInt = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9]
func myF(array: [Int], cl:(n1: Int, n2: Int) -> Bool) -> Int {
var number : Int
for value in array {
if cl(n1: number, n2: value) {
number = value
}
}
return number
}
myF(arrayInt, { cl: (n1: Int, n2: Int) -> Bool in
return n1 < n2
})
The function takes an array of Int and closure returns Int. Closure should take two Int numbers and return Bool yes or no. It is necessary to walk in a loop through the array and compare elements of array with variable using closure . If closure returns yes, you write the value of the array into variable. At the end of the function returns the variable. We need find max and min value in array.
I have 3 issue:
consecutive statements on a line must be separated by ';'
expected expression
contextual type for closure argument list expects 2 arguments, which cannot be implicitly ignored
Please don't proposed me use method "sort()". I am learning of "closure".

Answer 1

First of all you need to initialize your number variable: var number : Int -> var number = 0
Second, the function call with closure is not correct. There are several ways to call a closure:
let y = myF(arrayInt, cl: { (n1: Int, n2: Int) -> Bool in
return n1 < n2
})
or
let x = myF(arrayInt) { (n1, n2) -> Bool in
return n1 < n2
}
or even
let z = myF(arrayInt) { n1, n2 in
return n1 < n2
}
and
let w = myF(arrayInt) { $0 < $1 }

Full code sample:
let arrayInt = [1, 2, 3, 0, 4]
func myF(array: [Int], cl: (n1: Int, n2: Int) -> Bool) -> Int {
var number = 0
for i in array {
if cl(n1: number, n2: i) {
number = i
}
}
return number
}
let x = myF(arrayInt) { (n1, n2) -> Bool in
return n1 < n2
}

Answer 2

First replace:
myF(arrayInt, { cl: (n1: Int, n2: Int) -> Bool in
by:
myF(arrayInt, cl: { (n1: Int, n2: Int) -> Bool in
because cl is the parameter name and all included in { } is the closure.
Second initialize number in myF function replacing:
var number : Int
by:
var number = array[0]
if the goal of the closure is to find max or min value.
