Swift Functions & Optionals

Hello There,

I seem to be stuck on this challenge.

I tried the below code in xcode and it worked

func greeting(person: String) {

println("Hello \(person).")

}

greeting("Tom")

Yet when I try to check the code in the Team Treehouse code checker it does not work for some reason.

Where am I going wrong, am I missing something?

Many Thanks

parameters.swift 
func greeting(person: String) {

    println("Hello \(person).")
}

greeting("Tom")

You are very close! Don't put the period at the end of the "Hello (person)" thing. Code:

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

greeting("Tom")

Xelas got it right. While your code will go through an xcode playground treehouse is looking for code that works and is exactly what they are asking for. Your code would kick out "Hello Tom."

And treehouse wants "Hello Tom"

Annoying but something to keep in mind for future challenges
