2,304 Pointsprintln("Hello, \(greeting("Tom"))") not working. Any idea what's up?
func greeting(person: String) -> String { return person }
greeting("Tom")
is returning the correct thing but when I try and now print out the greeting with:
println("Hello (greeting("Tom"))")
I'm getting some error about needing a comma?

println("Hello " + (greeting("Tom"))) // this would look like println("Hello " + "Tom")
// after the function returns the name

Challenge Task 1 of 1
"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"."
asks you to replace the println statement with a return statement: return ("Hello \(person)")
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
return ("Hello \(person)")
}
