Timer only executing function once

Question

So the timer works once but after the first time it doesnt work anymore... What's the problem and how can it be fixed? Thanks!

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

 let myTimer : Timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 7, target: self, selector: (selector: "functionOne"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
        }
    }
    func functionOne()
    {
       print("hello")

    }

FYI - your Swift 3 selector syntax is incorrect. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24007650/selector-in-swift — rmaddy, Nov 04 '16 at 16:56

Try this code:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 7.0, target: self, selector: #selector(functionOne), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

}

func functionOne () { 
   print("hello") 
}

Output:
