You're code is almost correct, however you have a couple of extras/differences that the challenge isn't expecting.
You've defined
personas a named parameter which it doesn't need to be, in this case you can omit the hash/pound#and removeperson:from yourgreetingfunction callYou have passed Jerry as the string to
greeting, instead this should be Tom as per the task.
func greeting(person: String) {
println("Hello \(person)")
}
greeting("Tom")
Happy coding!

Courses Plus Student 512 PointsI've learned that with these challenges you need to read it carefully. After the video lesson, I would read it and type out the whole lesson and wonder what I did wrong. Most of the time it was because I was providing too much information, which seems to be your case as well. Look at the challenges, if it has 1 of 3 or something like that, don't overthink your coding. Good luck!
