For whatever reason, my Double values are floating to large decimal points and causing my program to fail the test. Why?

Why does this not pass the tutorial assessment?

func getTowerCoordinates(location: String) -> (Double, Double) { switch location { case "Eiffel Tower": return (48.8582, 2.2945) case "Great Pyramid ": return (29.9792, 31.1344) case "Sydney Opera House": return (33.8587, 151.2140) default: return (0.0, 0.0) } }

functions.swift 
// Enter your code below
func getTowerCoordinates(location: String) -> (Double, Double)
{
    let e1 = 48.8582
    let e2 = 2.2945

    switch location
    {
        case "Eiffel Tower": return (e1, e2)
        case "Great Pyramid ": return (29.9792, 31.1344)
        case "Sydney Opera House": return (33.8587, 151.2140)
        default: return (0, 0)
    }
}

it is not working for a kind of weird reason .... there is an extra space after Pyramid in "Great Pyramid " , if you remove it, it will work!

Hey Brian,

The problem actually is just an extra space you have on the String '"Great Pyramid "

// Enter your code below
func getTowerCoordinates(location: String) -> (Double, Double)
{
    let e1 = 48.8582
    let e2 = 2.2945

    switch location
    {
        case "Eiffel Tower": return (e1, e2)
        case "Great Pyramid": return (29.9792, 31.1344) // extra space was here and I removed
        case "Sydney Opera House": return (33.8587, 151.2140)
        default: return (0, 0)
    }
}
