I'm not understanding what error i have done

I tried to do exactly as the question said and precisely what the module showed but am getting an error. Could someone spot out and rectify my error? Thank you. :)

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

Hi Atharv,

Your function header looks good. As for replacing the println statement, you can specify the string you want to return in the actual return statement.

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

Hope this helps!
