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

4,762 PointsHi, I'm guessing that the error is giving you is in the var result line of code. This is because you are inputing the string by first stating the name of the parameter. This is wrong because remember that in order to do that you need to add either a "label" to that parameter when constructing the function in one of these two ways
func greeting (person person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
}
//OR
func greeting (#person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
}
this forces you to state the name of the parameter when calling the function and inputing data. Since that is not the case here you need to only put the string like this
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (language, greeting)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
hope this helps
