I think you're after ...

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

Then call the function and pass in the person like:

greeting("Steve")

Will give you the output, Hello, Steve.

Steve, thank you so much. Worked like a dream. Just wondering if you could assist on the extra credit section of functions? This is the code I have but I am not sure if it was right, can you have a quick look? func fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) ->String { return firstName + lastName }

Hiya,

Your answer is correct - but does the question ask for the output to be more than just firstName + lastName. Are they separated by spaces, for example, or preceded by "Hello".

What's the question asking for?

Steve.
