the function greeting is waiting a named parameter called "person", while when calling it you are not supporting that namedparam. send you namedparam and it should be fixed, like so:

func greeting(#person: String) {
// code here
}

greeting(person: "Jerry")

Yeah i went back and read the teachers notes. and it made sense finally. it was driving me crazy. makes sense since your trying to put the string into the parameter "person".

thanks lulu!
