Thanks!

  • In the future, rather than putting the answer in the question, you should just [post a separate answer to your question](http://stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer). – Rob Apr 07 '15 at 03:42
  • @Rob : Well, the answer was from matt, and the credits go to him. Since his answer is picture-based, I re-typed it for search engine indexing. For example, if someone Googles for "swift f functions s t e", this post should appear in the search result. – Siu Ching Pong -Asuka Kenji- Apr 07 '15 at 10:04

These are the same abbreviations that appear in the Symbol navigator, where they are defined for you (as the attached screen shot shows):

Thus, as the table tells you, C means class, Pr means protocol, and so on.

  • Thanks! Could you please also suggest how to display a list of them, as shown in your screenshot? Thanks! – Siu Ching Pong -Asuka Kenji- Apr 07 '15 at 02:37
  • The screenshot _is_ a list of them. I've answered your question, I believe. You asked what they meant and I told you what they meant. – matt Apr 07 '15 at 02:38

    Okay, I found it. For those who can't, try pressing `⌘2`, or `View` -> `Navigators` -> `Show Symbol Navigator`. You may need to configure the view by enabling / disabling the options at the bottom-left corner (the "C", "Document" and "M" icons). – Siu Ching Pong -Asuka Kenji- Apr 07 '15 at 02:44
