Getting the coordinates from the location I touch the touchscreen

In a UIResponder subclass, such as UIView:

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {    let touch = touches.anyObject()! as UITouch    let location = touch.locationInView(self)}

This will return a CGPoint in view coordinates.

Updated with Swift 3 syntax

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {    let touch = touches.first!    let location = touch.location(in: self)}

Updated with Swift 4 syntax

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {    let touch = touches.first!    let location = touch.location(in: self.view)}

Taking this forward for Swift 3 - I'm using:

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {    if let touch = touches.first {        let position = touch.location(in: self)        print(position.x)        print(position.y)    }}

Happy to hear any clearer or more elegant ways to produce the same result

This is work in Swift 2.0

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {    if let touch = touches.first {        let position :CGPoint = touch.locationInView(view)        print(position.x)        print(position.y)    }}
