How do I complete task 2 of this challenge?

I understand how to create a variable and to name it result, but I don't understand the part about assigning it to the tuple. What do I do to complete this task?

tuples.swift 
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String,greeting: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
    var result = (language,greeting)
    return (greeting,language)
}

You are close, just put the variable outside the function. And call the function to that variable.

Here is the complete answer

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
    return (greeting, language)
}

var result = greeting("Tom")
println("\(result.language)")

The question asks to create a variable name result and store the value returned by the function greeting.

var result = greeting("Tom")

Maulik, do you know the opposite of ==?

The Opposite of == is !=

let number = 3
if number != 4 {
     println("The number is not equal to 4.")
}

The above block of code will print "The number is not equal to 4." because the var number is not equal to 4
