Hi Jake,

You have a first problems with your code.

1. In your return type, the type string set for language is incorrect, it should have a capital S
2. the e in English needs to be capital
3. your greeting constant needs to refer to the parameter person instead of Tom which is invalid

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

  return (greeting, language)
}

Happy coding!

I answered your other question concerning this challenge, but ill include it below for completeness in case someone else stumbles across this in the future

your code is similar for the code necessary for a different challenge. However the challenge you linked to is not that one. Did you get your code from another forum post perhaps? That code is for a tuples challenge, this challenge is on return types.

the challenge states Modify the definition of the function named greeting to return a String and replace the println statement with a return statement. The function should return a greeting. For example, if you pass in a string "Tom" then the return string would be: "Hello Tom".

the challenge initially has the following code:

func greeting(person: String) {
    println("Hello \(person)")
}

it needs to return a string and you need to return the string, not print it

the swift eBook states:

You indicate the function’s return type with the return arrow -> (a hyphen followed by a right angle bracket), which is followed by the name of the type to return.

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

thanks for the help guys
