how do i create a variable that contains the function greeting?

Create a variable named result and assign it the tuple returned from function greeting. (Note: pass the string "Tom" to the greeting function.)

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

    var result = greeting(person: "Tom")
