Swift Swipe gesture recognizer crashes program

Question

Hello I added a swift gesture recognizer and it keeps crashing my program

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let leftSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(("handleSwipes:")))
    let rightSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(("handleSwipes:")))

    leftSwipe.direction = .left
    rightSwipe.direction = .right

    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(leftSwipe)
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(rightSwipe)
}

func handleSwipes(sender: UISwipeGestureRecognizer) {
    if (sender.direction == .left ) {
        headerLabel.text = "Zodiac Yearly"
    }

    if (sender.direction == .right ) {
        headerLabel.text = "Characteristics"
    }
}

This is the error I am getting

Answer 1

let leftSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleSwipes(sender:)))

@objc func handleSwipes(sender: UISwipeGestureRecognizer) {
    // ...
}

This should work in Swift 3 and 4.
