let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (language, greeting)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println("\(result.language)")
You need to pass the greeting function the name "Tom". That's the string that the function parameter takes--this parameter is named "person" within the context of the function itself, and it accepts the type String (i.e. person: String). If you're getting confused on the naming, remember that what is returned by the function refers to the named tuple return types (i.e. (language: String, greeting: String)) in the first line.
Once you pass it "Tom", the function returns the tuple and assigns it to the result variable you create.

I answered this one yesterday here; it's an ambiguous question — not your fault. Basically, the tuple you return has to be a certain order — specifically, this order:
return (greeting, language)
