Somehow the code works correctly on my Xcode but doesn't on this framework.

Is there a problem when compiling the code, it seems to work right on my Xcode.

search.swift 
func search(#name: String) -> String? {
    let names = ["Doc","Grumpy","Happy"]
    for n in names {
        if n == name {
            return n
        }
    }

    return nil
}

if let result = search(name: "Doc"){
    println("Found \(result)")
}

Hi Emir,

The challenge just wants the string "Found" to be printed out if the test passes (rather than "Found" and the name itself.)

if let result = search(name: "Doc"){
    println("Found")
}

Hope this helps!
