I keep getting an error message saying that the code couldn't be compiled even though it runs fine on Xcode

Whenever I try to run it, it doesn't work even though I quadruple checked the code, and even tried to run it on Xcode. :/

I don't remember that challenge. Is it the "Named Parameters" one?

Try writing it in the Treehouse console like this:

func greeting(#person: String) {
    println("Hello \(person)")}

greeting(person: "Tom")
