"You need assign the return value of the 'greeting' function to 'result'." I do not understand what this means.

what do I do from here?

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

    return (language, greeting) 
}

var result = (language, greeting)

Hey Samuel Kim,

I just answered this question not too long ago. You should always check if your question has been answered previously on the forum. It can save you time that you lose in waiting for a response.

What you need to do is call your greeting function by passing it in a string, and then assign the value returned to a variable called result.

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

    return (language, greeting) 
}

/* You call your greeting function and pass it a string
because the function takes a String as its argument.
What will be returned is a tuple with the values of (language, greeting) */
var result = greeting("Samuel")

Here's my other post related to this question. Good Luck!
