821 PointsDouble Double is producing errors in playgrounds and not accepted in challenge
I'm not sure why this doesn't work. I'm getting two warnings: Line one I get "All paths through this function will call itself" Line two I get "Variable 'locationCoordinates' was written to, but never read"
func coordinates(for location: String) -> (Double, Double){
var locationCoordinates: (Double, Double)
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": locationCoordinates = (48.8582, 2.2945)
case "Great Pyramid": locationCoordinates = (29.9792, 31.1344)
case "Sydney Opera House": locationCoordinates = (33.8587, 151.2140)
default: locationCoordinates = (0, 0)
}
return coordinates(for: "Eiffel Tower")
}

14,575 PointsHello,
You are using the function within its own body. The return should be the variable that you are assigning values to in the switch cases.
func coordinates(for location: String) -> (Double, Double){
var locationCoordinates: (Double, Double)
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": locationCoordinates = (48.8582, 2.2945)
case "Great Pyramid": locationCoordinates = (29.9792, 31.1344)
case "Sydney Opera House": locationCoordinates = (33.8587, 151.2140)
default: locationCoordinates = (0, 0)
}
return locationCoordinates
}
Hope this helps.

821 PointsThank you Jhoan ... yes that worked. Now I understand what I need to do with the return.
