Hey Richard, before giving you the solution, maybe you can try to use a switch statement? so that given the String "Eiffel Tower" we get the 2 Doubles (lat lon) etc? good luck :)

Please don't read this before figuring out the switch statement. hope it helped

func coordinates(for location: String) -> (Double, Double) { switch location { case "Eiffel Tower": return (48.8582, 2.2945) case "Great Pyramid": return (29.9792, 31.1344) case "Sydney Opera House": return (33.8587, 151.2140) default: return (0,0) } }
