My code no compiler errors but I still can't advance.
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
let language = ("English", "Hello \(person)")
return language
}
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("Tom")

I tried each of these and they work great in the compiler and the console output is correct as well. Not sure what is wrong.
//func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
//
// let response = (language: "English", greeting: "Hello \(person)")
// return response
//}
//
//let result3 = greeting("Tom")
//println(greeting("Tom"))
//result3.greeting
//result3.language
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello\(person)"
return (language, greeting)
}
let result1 = greeting("Tom")

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

Rick Matsumoto
2,547 PointsStill not sure I understand what happened, but this passes the code challenge.
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
var greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting,language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")

var result = greeting(person: "Tom")
