Swift Functions and Optionals (Challenge Task 2 of 3)

This is my code for the Challenge Task 2 of 3:

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

But I am getting this error message:

Bummer! Your greeting printed "Hello Tom" when called with "XYZZY" as the parameter. It should have printed "Hello XYZZY".

This is working in Xcode. Any ideas?

You need to remove the greeting("Tom").

That part is not asked for until part 3.

Hi Adam,

Try the challenge again as I just copy and pasted your code in and it worked as expected, sometimes the challenge can glitch in which waiting a minute or two then refreshing resolves the issue.

Thanks Logan,

That solution worked. I didn't realize the next step asked for that next line of code.
