323 PointsTuple confusion with returning two things
func greeting(person: String) -> String { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)" let message = "/(greeting), /(language)" return message }
greeting(person:"Sara")
Why wouldn't this work
func greeting(person: String) -> String {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
let message = "/(greeting), /(language)"
return message
}
greeting(person:"Sara")
