On the quiz it wasn't accepting greeting(Tom)

the quiz was telling me there was an error when calling the function, this was my function ....

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

and this was the error...

swift_lint.swift:10:10: error: use of unresolved identifier 'Tom' greeting(Tom)

Could someone explain, it must be something really obvious but i just can't get it! what have I done wrong?

when you defined your function, you specified greeting to be of type String. But when you called it and passed in Tom, you forgot to put it in parenthesis so it thought it was an object.

Hope that helps, keep at it, and happy coding!
