I dont understand what am I doing wrong

Please review my code I have tried this on xcode and it outputs the return value.

I also tried it with Tom but it says it tried returning Fred. then I tried it with Fred and it still doesnt work

returns.swift
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
    return person
}
let person = greeting("Fred")
println("Hello \(person)")

Hello, Juan, you should do everything within the function body.

The function should return a greeting. For example, if you pass in a string "Tom" then the return string would be: "Hello Tom".

func greeting(person: String) -> String {
    return "Hello \(person)"
}
