This is exactly how the tutorial went and it tests fine in xcode why is it still wrong?

The challenge isn't asking you to write a function so you don't need the curly braces or the return value, just the line defining the variable and the line printing it.

Don't forget that when you type the output you are supposed to put in what you want the output to say. So technically speaking your code is correct but the code challenge wants you to type code with the output of "A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches.", not "14.5 radius".
