Hello, hamsa mussa

Original code template:

func greeting(person: String) {
    println("Hello \(person)")
}

Pretty much to pass this challenge, you only need to do TWO things to Modify the given code.

  1. change the println keyword to return.
  2. give this function the return type String.

And leave everything else untouched.

func greeting(person: String) -> String {
    return "Hello \(person)"
}

Hope this helps.

Thank you William for your reply, This is the reply from Code Challenge Bummer! Your function isn't returning the correct value. I tried passing "Fred" as the parameter and got back "Hello", but expected "Hello Fred".

Thank You very much for your help. I Appreciate it.
