}
println("Hello \(greeting("Tom"))")

26,676 PointsThe code you have is vastly different from what the challenge has asked for, just for clarity the question is as follows.
Modify the definition of the function named
greetingto return aStringand replace the println statement with a return statement. The function should return a greeting. For example, if you pass in a string "Tom" then the return string would be: "Hello Tom".
What the challenge is asking us to do is alter the function so instead of using the println function to print the string we simply return it, to do this we simply need to replace println along with it's parentheses which will give you the return statement containing the same string that the println function was printing.
See the below.
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
return "Hello \(person)"
}
Happy coding!
