I don't understand how to complete this challenge. I'm supposed to return a variable next to a constant but i can't seem to use string interpolation correctly.
The answer is not: return ("Hello (person)") (NOTE: the editor doesn't show the backslash before (person))
Please help
func greeting(person: String) {
return greeting
}

func greeting(person: String) -> String {
println("Hello \(person)")
}
then you need to replace the println function with a return statement
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
return "Hello \(person)"
}
