Am i close?

I also tried adding "Jerry" after string: in the first line and was also wrong, not sure what I'm missing

named_parameters.swift 
func greeting(#person: String) {
    println("Hello \(person)")
}
greeting("person \(Jerry)")

Hi Jake,

Yes you are close but have confused interpolation for a named parameter, instead you want to call the greeting function using the same parameter signature which is person: String.

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

greeting(person: "Jerry")

Happy coding!
