What is wrong with my code?

I am working on this challenge for 20-30 minutes and still can't complete it. In my playground code works as expected but still I can't complete my challenge.

functions.swift 
// Enter your code below
func getTowerCoordinates(location: String) ->(Double, Double) {
  switch location{
    case "Eiffel Tower": return(48.8582, 2.2945)
    case "Great Pyramid:": return(29.9792, 31.1344)
    case "Sydney Opera House": return(33.8587, 151.2140)
  default: return(0, 0)
  }
}

Hey Ali Sutcu,

You almost have the function and the switch statement set up properly. You need to remove the colon inside the string for your second case statement. Then you need to call that getTowerCoordinates function and pass it in a String to evaluate. 

// Enter your code below

func getTowerCoordinates(location: String) -> (Double, Double) {
  switch location {
    case "Eiffel Tower": return (48.8582, 2.2945)
    case "Great Pyramid": return (29.9792, 31.1344)
    case "Sydney Opera House": return (33.8587, 151.2140)
    default: return (0, 0)
  }
}

getTowerCoordinates("Eiffel Tower")

Good Luck
