For this challenge we are ask to modify the current function with a return type and yo use the println, the output should say "Hello Tom". the part that I am having trouble is when call the function in the println. I thought that the println statement should look like this.
println("Hello (greeting("Tom"))") but this does not compile why is that ??

You can use something like this:
println("Hello" + greeting("Tom"))
or this:
let greeting = greeting("Tom")
println("Hello \(greeting)")
but that line of code you're writing doesn't make much sense to me.

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

And also, Swift (or many other languages) don't like double quotation marks inside a double quotation marks.
