import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
        
        let switchDemo=UISwitch(frame:CGRect(x: 150, y: 150, width: 0, height: 0))
        switchDemo.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.switchStateDidChange(_:)), for: .valueChanged)
        switchDemo.setOn(true, animated: false)
        self.view.addSubview(switchDemo)
        
    }
    
    @objc func switchStateDidChange(_ sender:UISwitch!)
    {
        if (sender.isOn == true){
            print("UISwitch state is now ON")
        }
        else{
            print("UISwitch state is now Off")
        }
    }
    
    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
    
}
