Code Challenge Geographical Coordinates

I am kind of stuck here, can anyone explain me what am I doing wrong here, Thanks in advance.

functions.swift 
/func coordinates(for location: String)-> (lat: Double, lon: Double) {

    switch location {
    case "Eiffel Tower":
        return (48.8582, 2.2945)
    case "Great Pyramid":
        return (29.9792, 31.1344)
    case "Sydney Opera Houese":
        return (33.8587, 151.2140)
    default:
        return (0,0)
    }

}

Hey Naveed,

Perhaps one or two things...

...one...removing that forward slash right before your function definition should get your code to compile and run correctly...

...two...perhaps removing the labels in your return parameter list? I've noticed that sometimes putting in stuff that is not required may produce errors in the challenges...

There are two error in your code

  1. The task does not ask you to return lat and long, you do not need it in your return method
  2. In Sydney Opera House you mis spelled house
func coordinates(for 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)
    }
}
