Let's start off by creating a class that will contain a method which will accept two closures and then execute one of the closures based on the defined logic. We will name this class TestClass. Here is the code for the TestClass class:

class TestClass 
{ 
  typealias ResultsClosure = ((String) -> Void) 
 
  func isGreater(numOne: Int, numTwo:Int, successHandler: ResultsClosure, failureHandler: ResultsClosure) 
  { 
    if numOne > numTwo 
    { 
      successHandler("\(numOne) is greater than \(numTwo)") 
    } 
    else 
     { 
      failureHandler("\(numOne) is not greater than \(numTwo)") 
     }
