3,153 PointsI am declaring a Parameter of type String but it keeps telling me that I am not, somebody please help
As you can see in my code after
func coordinates
my argument is (location: String)
the error that I'm receiving is that my function argument isn't of type String.
// Enter your code below
func coordinates(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)
}
}

The error is definitely misleading as you do have a parameter of type String. However, the instruction ask you to
Declare a function named coordinates that takes a single parameter of type String, with an external name for, a local name of location, and returns a tuple containing two Double values
In your function, you are missing the external name "for".
Keep coding!
