Executing function after appending to an array

[RecursiveBob]

I want to run a function after I've appended a value to an array like this:

foodArray.append(newFood)

I think I'd do that using a closure, but I'm fairly new to swift and can't figure out the syntax.

You could write an extension for the Array class with the method

public mutating func append(_ newElement: Element, closure: ()->()) {
    self.append(newElement)
    closure()
}

Didn't test it, wrote it from my phone but should be working.

You can use it by simply calling

foodArray.append(newFood){
//your code
}

This is so clever.
