This code won't work for me and I really don't know why?
// Enter your code below
let coordinates = getTowerCoordinates("Eiffel Tower")
func coordinates(location: String) -> (Double, Double) {
var lat: Double = 0.0, lon: Double = 0.0
switch namedlocation {
case "Eiffel Tower": lat = 48.8582; lon = 2.2945
case "Great Pyramid": lat = 29.9792; lon = 31.1344
case "Sydney Opera House": lat = 33.8587; lon = 151.2140
default: return (0,0)
}
return (lat, lon)
}

Python Development Techdegree Student 36,887 PointsHi Nigel,
Your first issue is that you are declaring a constant called coordinates
that makes a function call to a non-existent function.
Your next issue is that you are missing the external argument label. As the challenge instructs:
Declare a function named coordinates that takes a single parameter of type String, with an external name for, a local name of location
Lastly, you make reference inside your function to namedLocation
but you have no such property. The closest you have is location
.
Cheers
