# reset()

Overridden to reset internal state when a gesture recognition attempt completes.

## Declaration

```swift
func reset()
```

## Mentioned in

About the Gesture Recognizer State Machine Implementing a Continuous Gesture Recognizer Implementing a discrete gesture recognizer

## Discussion

Discussion The runtime calls this method after the gesture-recognizer state has been set to UIGestureRecognizer.State.ended, recognized, UIGestureRecognizer.State.cancelled, or UIGestureRecognizer.State.failed—in other words, any of the terminal states for a gesture recognition attempt. Subclasses should reset any internal state in preparation for a new attempt at gesture recognition. After this method is called, the gesture recognizer receives no further updates for touches that have begun but haven’t ended.
