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

71,830 PointsP.S., you weren't asked to call the function, but you did, and did it correctly. Usually, though, you would want to do something with the return value. E.g., store it in a variable or constant, or display it:
let msg = greeting("Tom")
print(greeting("Tom"))
