Why when I plug "Tom" into the greeting function in the results variable is it telling me that it is the wrong value?

Unless I am misunderstanding what it means to run a String "Tom" through the function, or what it means to have the wrong variable in the function. I'm just really stuck.

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

return greeting

}

let result = greeting(person: "Tom")

Here's what I got. Sorry I'm not much help troubleshooting- but this code works. ```<p>func greeting (person: String) -> (greeting:String, language:String) { let language = "English" let greeting = "Hello (person)"

return (greeting,language)

}

var result = greeting("Tom")</p>```

Great that worked, thank you Gary!

Here's a repost of the above solution so the code is easier to read:

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

    return (greeting,language)
}

var result = greeting("Tom")
