I am trying to return 2 double values by entering a string in a function.

Question

What needs to be in the return portion of the code to receive 2 double values as the output?

functions.swift

// Enter your code below
func getTowerCoordinates (location: String) -> (lat: Double, lon: Double) {
switch location {
  case "Eiffel Tower": (48.8582, 2.2945)
  case "Great Pyramid": (29.9792, 31.1344)
  case "Sydney Opera House": (33.8587, 151.2140)
  default: (0,0)
  }
  return (lat, lon)
  }

You were very close. First thing, you need to delete the space between the getTowerCoordinate function name and the (location: String). Second, you need to delete the names lat and lon. The way you wrote it is actually good, but for some reason the question doesn't want us to name the return values in this function. Lastly, you put 'return' in the wrong spots. Since we want to return the double values as a tuple, we put the return keyword in front of the tuples in our switch. The code should look like this:

func getTowerCoordinates(location: String) -> (Double, Double) {
switch location {
  case "Eiffel Tower": return (48.8582, 2.2945)
  case "Great Pyramid": return (29.9792, 31.1344)
  case "Sydney Opera House": return (33.8587, 151.2140)
  default: return (0,0)
  }
}
