Im trying to complete this task, Im not sure if Im reading it completely wrong. I have created a variable (as asked), I have named it result (as asked), I have then made the result = the return(greeting) and specified the greeting shall be "Tom" ---> return(greeting: "Tom")
I'm not sure where I am going wrong please help :)
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting:String, language:String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return greeting
var result = return greeting(person: "Tom")
}

You're almost there, you do however have a couple of problems with your code.
- You're not returning a tuple from your
greetingfunction - You have some invalid syntax are your first
returnstatement which shouldn't be there
The below is the final code you should have.
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting:String, language:String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
NOTE: When calling functions you don't need to include the parameter name in the function declaration, only if it's declared with # in the function do you need to use something like greeting(person: "Tom").
