i can't proceed, even though this is correct.

func greeting(person: String) { println("Hello (person)") }

thats my code thats supposed to be a custom function that types in the name of a person and adds a greeting "Hello" before their name, although this code is correct, i can't proceed from the challenge and even check the compiler which has no errors. The pop up still says my code could not be compiled though.

parameters.swift 
func greeting(person: String) {
    println("Hello \(person)")
}

This quiz is being finicky. Try refreshing and entering your code again. It's correct. Make sure there are no unnecessary lines (shouldn't make a difference, but it did for me).

I think it requires named parameter. Try one of the following:

func greeting(person person: String)

or func greeting(#person: String)

Good luck
