Call the greeting function and pass it the string "Jerry". I'm just not sure what they want me to do.

Definitely over thinking it.

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

func greeting(#person: String) {


}

Here you're redefining your function or rewriting your function. This isn't necessary. The challenge wants you to "call" (invoke/run/execute) the bit of code inside that function. And it wants you to specifically send it the name "Jerry". But outside of the challenge you could send any string you like. You could send "The Artist formerly known as Prince"! Here's my code. Hope it helps!

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

greeting(person: "Jerry")
