How do I pass a number to a gesture recognizer action?

I have the next code

var i = 0
for answer in answeres{ 
    let singleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(tapDetected(_:))
    imageView.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)
    i+=1
}

func tapDetected(position : Int) {
    print(position)
}

How can I pass the var 'i' to each imageView, so when the user click the imageView, it prints the correct number in the log?

The method called by the recognizer is passed the recognizer as a first argument:

func tapDetected(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {}

Which means you can use the view property of the recognizer to access the view associated with it. And the number can be stored as the view tag:

var i = 0
for answer in answers {
   let singleTap = …
   let imageView = …
   imageView.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)
   imageView.tag = i
   i = i + 1
}

func tapDetected(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    print(sender.view.tag)
}
