func greeting (person : String) { let greeting = "Hello, " + person + "!"
} println(Hello("Tom"))
This is what i have got so far

func greeting(person:String) {
println("Hello \(person)")
}
Also you can easily use string interpolation by adding a backslash followed by parentheses with the variable or constant's name. println("Hello /(person)") This prints: "Hello Name". The code above should work for the quiz because it uses string interpolation and it takes an input person and prints: "Hello Name".
Hope this helps!

Why does it think I've entered "XYZZX"? Isn't the code correct as well overall?

4,629 PointsHi McKenna,
Your problem is that is hasn't asked you to call the greeting function until task 3, so your answer for task 2 should look like this:
func greeting(person: String) {
println("Hello \(person)")
}
Not this:
func greeting(person: String) {
println("Hello \(person)")
}
greeting("Tom")
Hope this helps!

2,930 PointsDoh! Got it. The error msg doesn't really make sense though. I think I keep having issues somehow with my browser, trying to go back a step or something?
