Can someone please help me figure out what is wrong with my code?
Thanks in advance,
Emmanuel.

let language : String = "English"
let greeting : String = ("Hello \(person)")

}

Challenge Task 1 of 3 asks you to "Make sure to name each item in the tuple: greeting and language. ", so that you have to name it like:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
}
...hence the complete code should look like:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}

var result = greeting("Emmanuel")
println(" \(result.greeting) . You do speak \(result.language)")
For more details you might want to have a look at Functions with Multiple Return Values

4,107 PointsHi,
Thank you SO much for your answer.
What it means when I write "greeting" before the return data type?
It means that the return value will be name greeting and language?
Thanks,
Emmanuel.
