ios - How do I call a static function of a class by its instance -

i have simple class:

class tableitem {   class func celliden() -> string {     return "tableitem"   } }

and subclass of tableitem

class editableitem {   override class func celliden() -> string {     return "editableitem"   } }

then, somewhere in code, have this:

var items: [tableitem] = [tableitem(), editableitem()]

now, want is, iterate through items , call each tableitem's static celliden() function.

for in items {   var iden = i.self.celliden() }

however, tells me tableitem not have member called 'celliden'

how can call static method of class instance?

note: can't call tableitem.celliden() because i can tableitem or editableitem

you need runtime type of i. every instance has dynamictype property returns runtime (dynamic) type:

var iden = i.dynamictype.celliden()

Call
