I don't get what the question is asking me to do, my guess answer is probably retarded too
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println(language, result)

1,049 PointsHey Dave, thanks for helping me out again, I'm going no where fast :)
This was actually the 3rd part of the task pretty sure where it does ask you to put together the println piece at the end?
Josh Smith
1,049 PointsAh yes you are right I'm sorry. I was only on the 2nd part of the task, the 3rd bit is asking me to do this: "Using the println statement, print out the value of the language element from the result tuple."
So i've got all this which is correct but I'm getting it wrong as I'm trying to print the value of the language element from the result tuple (I don't even understand that part of the question):
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom") println(WHAT THE F**K DO I PUT HERE)

println(result.language) as a coherent sentence would be. Print the result of language

1,310 Pointsprintln(result.language) solve the puzzle
but why ?
why not println(result)
If i run ....
println(result.language) in my playground i get this message.
Playground execution failed: MyPlaygroundStrings.playground:13:17: error: use of unresolved identifier 'language' println (result,language)
So i think in my opinion the right answer is println(result) because result include both language and greeting !!
No need to add language... it will not work in playground.
I sit and i think the only posibility to ask us... the specify result is a method of challange.

36,305 PointsI noticed you have written println(result.language) but your error msg shows println(result,language)
Check your code to see that you've not used a , where you need a .
Although the challenge requires you to create a variable called result, in the println you are not calling the variable result, but rather the result (value stored in) language (i.e. English).
I'd say it was just poor naming conventions on the part of the challenge creators.
(I should say I'm a noob at iOS but this is the issue as I interpret the code.)
