Hello Jordan.

The task consists into 2 parts basically, first part:

You want it to return a string, so just add -> String right after func greeting(person: String)

This is the way to have it return a string.

Second part is easy, just change println with return and remove the set of ().

Good luck

Awesome! Can't wait to learn more about all of this. Very intrigued and exciting.

Hopefully you'll see me on the NYT with the next best app!

Thank you.

Vittorio,

Thank you. I ended up figuring it out before I read this.

Do all of these lessons end up making sense when applying to real world applications with UI's?

Also, at the end of all the iOS courses what kind of apps will I be limited to making? Or can I make something as good as snapchat, twitter, Facebook, etc.?

Not sure if you know these answers but they could be useful in figuring out if I need to finish these courses then move onto another type of education for coding or if this education alone is enough.

Thanks,

Jordan W.

Well you can make snapchat at least because there is a dedicated section to that, so if you just follow it you are on your way..

:D

For more advanced stuff I believe the studies are endless more or less.. But swift is very nice, pretty intuitive too.
