In Stage 2 Tuple task 2 of 3. Create a variable named result and assign it the tuple returned from function greeting.

Well I'm puzzled, if you paste exactly what you have into Xcode playground it works perfectly as you have presented it. Give me 10 minutes for a coffee and i will take a close look. I think if it works in Xcode but is not parsing when you submit it it maybe something really pepantic such as a string typo for example. Back soon :)

To much is assumed a known here, it is abvious when you show this answer but until you see it its not clear in a newly learning head what is being asked. Questions need to be really consise. I thought question was asking me to asign that within the code along the lines of 'var result = return (greeting, language)' which is way wrong. I would have arrived at the above answer if I felt it clear what was being asked. Knowledge to this point hasnt been to hard its understanding the task requested.

func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
    var result = greeting("Tom")

    return (language, greeting)
}

I've tried every way I could think of to fix the code but every time its says the result is not assigned to the greeting function. This is stage 2 challenge 2 of 3

Assign it the tuple 'returned from' is the operative word. So for want of a better explanation the tuple is being returned outside that block of code, so to access or create a variable using what was returned needs to be outside block off code. Try doing exactly what you have done but put the variable completely outside block of code.

Can't figure out why it isn't parsing. Knowing it works in Xcode and Knowing that the answer is var result = greeting ("Tom") I suggest you refresh the web page and enter answer at bottom, I can only guess you have some whitespace maybe??? thats treated as a value by the parser. It can be so pedantic, I have reversed 2 letters in text in a println statement and wouldn't work which of course will in Xcode. Good luck sorry I couldn't help.

(btw the reason greeting("Tom") is outside code block is "Tom" is being delivered to 'person:string' at start of function. I am sure it could be described better than i have but I'm a newbie at this)

func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)" return (greeting, language) // for some reason it will only accept the code when you swap these around } var result = greeting ("Tom")

// Problem was in order of "greeting" and "language". Order should be the same.

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)"

return (greeting, language)

}

var result = greeting("Tom")
