How to use the same function with multiple buttons
Some iOS apps require buttons to utilize the same function when tapped, think number buttons in a Calculator App. A number button on a calculator will perform the same action, store the number associated with it. Instead of declaring a function for each button, create one function that uses the button tag.

Create the project and the “UI”
Create a new iOS Single View App and give it a product name of “buttons to action”.
Add two buttons to Main.storyboard. You can add style to the buttons to make it easier to see. I'm going to add a background and make a bit larger.
Add a label to Main.storyboard.
Add a tag value to buttons
When utilizing the same function on both buttons, there needs to be a way to distinguish between the two buttons. A way to do this is to utilize Tag. This can be found in the inspector.
Set the button on the left to have a Tag of 0, and set the button on the right to have a Tag of 1.
