ios - How to use addTarget method in swift 3

Question

here is my button object

    let loginRegisterButton:UIButton = {
    let button = UIButton(type: .system)
    button.backgroundColor = UIColor(r: 50 , g: 80, b: 130)
    button.setTitle("Register", for: .normal)
    button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    button.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
    button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(handleRegister), for: .touchUpInside)
    return button
}()

and here is my function

    func handleRegister(){

    FIRAuth.auth()?.createUser(withEmail: email, password: password,completion: { (user, error) in

        if error != nil
        { print("Error Occured")}

        else
        {print("Successfully Authenticated")}
    })        
}

I'm getting compile error, if addTarget removed it compiles successfully

Yes, don't add "()" if there is no param

button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(handleRegister), for: .touchUpInside). 

and if you want to get the sender

button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(handleRegister(_:)), for: .touchUpInside). 

func handleRegister(sender: UIButton){
   //...
}

Edit:

button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(handleRegister(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)

no longer works, you need to replace _ in the selector with a variable name you used in the function header, in this case it would be sender, so the working code becomes:

button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(handleRegister(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
