Is there a way to get UIImage file name?

I am trying to make a Sets! game in which I need to choose 3 cards from the UI and compare between them (I am comparing the names of the images) for example:

UIButton 1 w/ image name : "1123"

UIButton 2 w/ image name : "1223"

UIButton 3 w/ image name : "1133"

Using this func:

func checkingIfMatch(cardOne : String, cardTwo : String, cardThree : String) -> Bool {
        let first = cardOne.compactMap{Int(String($0))} //making an array from the UIImage file name
        let second = cardTwo.compactMap{Int(String($0))}
        let third = cardThree.compactMap{Int(String($0))}
    if (first[0] == second[0] && second[0] == third[0]) || (first[0] != second[0] && second[0] != third[0]) {
        if (first[1] == second[1] && second[1] == third[1]) || (first[1] != second[1] && second[1] != third[1]) {
            if (first[2] == second[2] && second[2] == third[2]) || (first[2] != second[2] && second[2] != third[2]) {
                if (first[3] == second[3] && second[3] == third[3]) || (first[3] != second[3] && second[3] != third[3]) {
                    print("match!")
                    return true
                }
            }
        }
    }
    print("no match!")
    return false
}

}

I am trying to get the name of the UIButton's image when tapping on the button in order to do it but seems like I cant find a way to do it. Any help will be appreciated, if there is no way to do it would like to hear different ideas to do it.

I don't know what are you trying to achieve, but you can use tag get what button was tapped.

In the Storyboard, connect your three buttons to the same @IBAction with sender type of UIButton, then simply case around the tag to know what button user tapped. 

@IBAction func tappedButton(_ sender:  UIButton) {
    switch sender.tag {
        case 0: // image One
        case 1: // image Two
        case 2: // image Three
        default: // default condition where there is no matching cases
    }
}

Just drag the buttons to the function, Don't forget to give them tags.

btn.tag = 0

Or directly from the IB.
