It may be confusing since the result of the first part of this challenge doesn't do anything.

Let's take the description of the challenge part by part.

  1. "Declare a function named temperatureInFahrenheit." -> you have to declare a function, not a variable or a constant:

func temperatureInFahrenheit(){ }

  1. "The function should take a single input named temperature" -> temperature is the name of the input parameter, not of a variable or a constant. the input are in parentheses:

func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature ){ }

  1. " of type Double" -> you have to specify the type of your parameter, in this case, Double:

func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature : Double){ }

  1. " and has a return type of Double." -> your function return something, in this case a Double:

func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature : Double) -> Double { }

  1. "For now, to make the function pass, simply return the value of the temperature parameter from the function." -> you have to return the function parameter, which is temperature. Since temperature is a Double, it correspond to your return type:

func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature : Double) -> Double { return temperature }
