4,083 PointsNot sure what I'm doing wrong when it comes to returning the correct values for each case statement...
Compiler error says to makes sure I'm returning the correct values for each case statement.
// Enter your code below
func coordinates (for location: String) -> (Double, Double) {
var locationCoordinates = (0.0, 0.0)
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": print(48.8582,2.2945)
case "Great Pyramid": print(29.9792, 31.1344)
case "Sydney Opera House": print(33.8587, 151.2140)
default: print(0.0, 0.0)
}
return (0.0, 0.0)
}

Basically we are creating a function that will return a tuple, remember that when returning a tuple, is very important to return the amount of values in the tuple, in this case we want to return 2 doubles. Some tuples may have more than 2 values and they may even be different types.
You are going to switch the parameter location, and do each case as a "String" with the names of each location provided to you by the challenge. They must be strings, because that is the parameter's type.
Then since we did not named the labels in the tuples, then we do not use the "lat: 00.000, 00.000", we only use the "Doubles".
// Enter your code below
func coordinates(for location: String) -> (Double, Double) {
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": // String
return (48.8582, 2.2945) // Return a tuple with Doubles without the names
case "Great Pyramid":
return (29.9792, 31.1344)
case "Sydney Opera House" :
return (33.8587, 151.2140)
default:
return (0,0)
}
}

Good luck

4,083 PointsJust having trouble retaining proper syntax sometimes. I feel like not having a Mac to practice on X-Code is showing. But Thanks, Jhoan. And thanks for offering to help in the future :)
