muhammad, when you do String interpolation you do it inside a String, and there can be no space between the \ and the ():

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

greeting("Tom")

Further, you don't need the name variable. You can use the parameter directly in the println() function.

Happy coding!

Thank you so much
