iOS Swift Functions and Optionals Parameters and Tuples Tuples

What am i doing wrong?

I'm stuck ! can anyone help me ? This is what i have to do: Create a variable named result and assign it the tuple returned from function greeting. (Note: pass the string "Tom" to the greeting function.) This is what goes wrong: Bummer! You need assign the return value of the 'greeting' function to 'result'.

tuples.swift
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
    var result = greeting(greeting: "Tom")
}

Hi Mathis,

You have the right code pretty much just in the wrong spot, simply put your result variable after the closing brace for your greeting function.

The other problem is you're using a named parameter which greeting doesn't have so you can omit greeting:.

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
}

var result = greeting("Tom")

Happy coding!

I just tried using the code that Chris has above and the the code check in the challenge "Bummer! Your result variable has the wrong value in it. Check the task instructions again." I am am having difficulty with this
