Trouble passing parameter to function

The challenge asked me to pass the parameter to the function and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My code:

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

The error reads: Your 'greeting' printed "Hello Tom" when called with "XYXXY" as the parameter. It should have printed "Hello XYZZY".

It seems to be saying my code did what was intended but is somehow wrong. Any thoughts? The parenthesis are white, Hello is green, \ is red and person is blue

Hey Kurt!

Your code looks right to me, so it must be the spacing what's giving you the error.

Try this:

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

greeting("Tom")

Hope this helps!
