func greeting(#person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = ("say Hello \(person) in ", language)
return greeting
}
let result = greeting(person:"Tom")

You have a few errors in your code which are as follows.
- You have your
person
parameter set as a named parameter, it doesn't need to be - You've modified the
greeting
constant which wasn't asked as part of task 1 - You're only returning the value for the constant
greeting
instead of a tuple containing bothgreeting
andlanguage
- As stated in my first point
person
doesn't need to be a named parameter therefore you don't need to declareperson:
in front of Tom
The code that task 2 is expecting is the following.
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
let result = greeting("Tom")
Happy coding!
