func greeting(person:String) -> String
When you declare a return type within your function, it is important that you return a value of that specific type within your statement. This is denoted by typing 'return' followed by the value that you want to return. If you wanted to return a string, you would denote so like this:
return "Hello \(person)"
I hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions. With a little practice, I know this will become second nature for you =)
