Why doesn't this work? It works on XCode. I've tried many variations, but nothing is working. And "Preview" never works

Please help.

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

    return (language, greeting)
}

var result = greeting("Tom")

This worked for me:

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

return greeting

}

var result = greeting("Tom")
