How do I complete this tuple and connect both constants to the tuple? Thank you!

// CHALLENGE 1 / 3 Currently our greeting function only returns a single value. Modify it to return both the greeting and the language as a tuple. Make sure to name each item in the tuple: greeting and language. We will print them out in the next task.

func greeting(#person: String) -> (language: Bool,description: String) { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)"

return greeting

}

Here is what I hope is close to the right answer. How do I connect the Bool,description: String to the language? It feels like I shouldn't have the #person or I should have a #language. Thank you for your help.

tuples.swift
func greeting(#person: String) -> (language: Bool,description: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return greeting
}

I'm not sure where you are getting the Bool from, but this is what the code's answer is after all three challenges:

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

    return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println("English")

Thank you Kyle. The Bool came from the lesson and it must have been for the search function they created. Obviously the challenge was not meant to be a search function.

Thanks,
