what does muteNoticications mean ?

Question

probably a simple answer but what does "muteNoticications" mean ? (I know what the code does just not sure why he called it this name )
why did Pasan call it that ?
let week = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]
func weekdayOrWeekend(day: String) -> String {
    switch day {
        case "Saturday", "Sunday": return "Weekend"
        case "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday": return "Weekday"
        default: return "This isn't a valid day in the Western calendar"
    }
}
func muteNotifications(day: String) -> Bool {
    if day == "Weekend" {
        return true
    } else {
        return false
    }
}
let result = weekdayOrWeekend(week[4])
let isMuted = muteNotifications(result)

Hey Jon,
He called the func muteNotification because if it is weekend, he does not want to be bothered with a 'notification' so he muteNotification =). 
The muteNotification func return true or false, so if it is indeed weekend, the func returns true and it means that the notification will be muted. 
You can imagine an app that will mute notifications if it is weekend.
Hope this helps.
