3,461 PointsTrouble returning a tuple
I can't figure out whats wrong. The compiler says it can't convert type string to type (string, string). Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
func greeting(person: String) -> (String, String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
var sentence = (greeting, language)
return sentence
}

Challenge Task 1 of 3 asks you: "Currently our greeting function only returns a single value. Modify it to return both the greeting and the language as a tuple. Make sure to name each item in the tuple: greeting and language. We will print them out in the next task."
You forgot to name each item in the tuple like this: -> (greeting: String, language: String)
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
