1,766 PointsPlease help me with this exercise.
I understood everything what Amit said, but I dont know what am I missing in this exercise. I´ve tried let greeting = "Hello (person)" + language or I tried simply return greeting + language but its wrong... I havent done anything with string because there is only text so I do not have to neither I havent written #person because I dont need person person:String in my opinion.... So I simply dont understand this question....
Currently our greeting function only returns a single value. Modify it to return both the greeting and the language as a tuple. Make sure to name each item in the tuple: greeting and language. We will print them out in the next task.
Thank you for help
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return greeting
}

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

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String)
second thing to do is to return both values in the tuple, instead of only greeting.:
return (greeting, language)
So final code would be for task 1/3:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}

1,766 PointsBy the way... Why is in that video -> (found: Bool, description: String) and return only found ?? and in this exercise I had on the same play String: language and String: greeting also in the Return(greeting, language)
I dont see any sense there...
Thank you
