Hello, this function is not required to return any value so the return type should be dropped. Also, when calling the function we should provide the external parameter's name before passing the argument. Here is my solution to the problem:

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

hope it helps
