1,861 Pointsi'm having an issue with the tuples challenge problem
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
let item = (language, greeting)
return item
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
Swift
Create a variable named result and assign it the tuple returned from function greeting. (Note: pass the string "Tom" to the greeting function.)
Bummer! Your result variable has the wrong value in it. Check the task instructions again.

The order of your tuple is incorrect. greeting comes before language like this:
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
let item = (greeting, language)
return item
}
var result = greeting("Tom")

2,655 PointsThis code seems to work. Whats the issue exactly? Are you written the word Swift at the beginning of your code? If thats the case, swift is expecting a module that doesn't exist, so all you have to do is delete the word swift.

1,861 Pointsno, i just added that there to specify the language im using. i'll remove it and put it at the bottom. but i know the code works cause i put it in Xcode and i dont get any errors. but apparently when i hit the check work button it tells me that the result variable has the wrong value in it, which clearly it doesnt since the challenge is telling me to type "Tom". im guessing it's a bug?

44,957 PointsNo problem. Usually, the order of that tuple would be up to you. It's just that, in this case, the challenge wanted a specific answer but wasn't very clear about it. I've noticed this happens every now and again with the Challenge tasks.
