functions.swift answer

Im confused why its not accepting this. I tried every thing I could someone help me out. Side note changed "for" to "fort because it reads as a for statement.

functions.swift 
// Enter your code below
func coordinates(fort location: String) -> (Double, Double) {

    switch location {
    case "Eiffel Tower": (48.8582, 2.2945)
    case "Great Pyramid": (29.9792, 31.1344)
    case "Sydney Opera House": (33.8587, 151.2140)
    default: (0.0, 0.0)
  }
  return location
}

coordinates(fort: "Eiffel Tower")

Hello - You do not need to replace for with fort and also you are missing the word return for your cases

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)
    }
}

I tried using your code even changing it a bit by putting spaces between the tuples but its giving me communication errors every time I submit it.

There are no need for spaces. If you use my code exactly it is correct, if you would like to paste your code here I can tell you what is wrong with it and why it will not pass the challenge
