Courses Plus Student 1,861 PointsI am totally stumped on this one. I cant replicate the same thing with a string.
It says modify the definition to be a string
clearly you add -> string after the () in greeting, but when it asks me what to return, i am lost. I think I need to return (person) since that is what value we are passing through as a string, but it says I am wrong.
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
Return (person)
}

func greeting(person: String) -> String {
return "Hello \(person)"
}
first of all, return is lowercase in Swift. Second of all, it is asking you to return a string that will be formatted like "Hello name". To do this we will interpolate the person variable declared as a parameter and pass that to our string. That way, no matter what name we input, we will get "Hello (name inputted)". I hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 1,861 PointsThank you, chris. That cleared things up. I failed to output the return value as a string, which was my mistake in this exercise. Thank you for your help.
