Challenge is: Using the println statement, print out the value of the language element from the result tuple.
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting : String,language : String ){
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting ,language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println()

8,266 Pointsyou have to pass the "println(language) within the greeting function. This has to be applied within the greeting function scope.

1,458 PointsI don't think that's what they want. I think they expect something like:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting:String, language:String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
let result = greeting("Tom")
println(result.language)

8,266 Pointsno that didn't work. You have to apply the "println(language) above the first return statement.

8,266 PointsDid you try what i stated? The below works.
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting:String , language:String) { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)" println(language)
return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")

14,575 PointsThere seems to be an error in this challenge. But to pass the challenge it has to be this way. Even tho this is not correct.
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language) // the error seems to be here
}
var result = greeting("Tom”)
println(result.greeting)
The correct way of doing it is like this, but it won’t pass the challenge for some reason.
func greeting(person: String) -> (language:String,greeting:String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (language, greeting) // Corrected
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
result.greeting // will print “Hello Tom”
result.language // will print “English"
