Can't quite figure out what's gone wrong..
// Enter your code below
func coordinates(for location: String) -> (lat: Double, lon : Double) {
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": lat = 48.8582, lon = 2.2945
case "Great Pyramid": lat = 29.9792, lon = 31.1344
case "Sydney Opera House": lat = 33.8587, lon = 151.2140
default: lat = 0, lon = 0
}
return location
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! This challenge asks you to make a function that returns two Doubles as a tuple. It should accept one argument which is a string with the external name for and the local name location. Your function says that it should return two Double named lat and lon, but the challenge asks for them to remain unnamed for this example.
We send in location as a string. This will match (or should) with one of our cases. But your function only returns one thing. It returns the String that was sent in. At this point, if they were to send in "Eiffel Tower", your code would return "Eiffel Tower". However, it will not compile in this state as the return type does not match what you've said the return type should be.
But let me show you one example of a case which returns a latitude and longitude as an example:
case "Eiffel Tower": return(48.8582, 2.2945)
I feel like you can get the rest of it with this hint, but let me know if you're still stuck!

Treehouse TeacherHasseeb Hussain what it means is that you've told the function that it's going to return two Doubles, one named
latand one namedlon. But it wants a return type without names.func coordinates(for location: String) -> (Double, Double) //returning two doubles without a nameHope this helps!
