I think you may have got a tad confused by the task in question. You are asked to modify the definition of the function so that it returns a string. This is done with the -> symbol after the parameter declaration. Then it asks to return the string, It gives an example with the value of "Tom" was passed in. BUt, it doesn't want you to hard-code the value in, it is just giving an example. You will see that challenges are very specific and very picky. Also, you are printing the string out, when the challenge asks for a return.
Below is the correct lines of code for your reference. I hope it will make sense. :)
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
return("Hello \(person)")
}
