How do I get result to return "English" and not "Hello Tom"?
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println(result)

return (language, greeting)

514 PointsThanks David,
I changed the order of parameters. This prints:
"(English, Hello Tom)"
I think I need it to only print:
"(English)"
How do I do that?

Courses Plus Student 45,640 PointsI think for this challenge you only need the first part of your code.
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)"
return (language, greeting)
}
// remove everything else

514 PointsIf I do that, it says: "Bummer! You need to declare a variable called 'result'."
The challenge definitely wants me to use println also.
