Adding an instance

Question

How do I add an instance to this method?

    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
}
func getFullName(Full Name local: String)
{
    return firstname + lastname
}

Hello:

The challenge wants you to create an instance of the struct. Creating an instance of the struct is simple, you have to use it's member wise initializer.

The second part of the challenge is asking you to create an instance of the struct Person, and provide its properties with any values you want. Then after you have that instance, you want to call the function you created on that instance and assign it to a constant.

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

 // Instance method that returns a full name from the struct's properties. 
    func getFullName()-> String {
    return "\(firstName ) \(lastName)"
    }
}

// Here we create the instance of the struct Person.
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Your Name", lastName: "Your Last Name")

// Here we call that method we created on the instance aPerson. 
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

I hope this helps you.. Good luck

Im not sure but I think your problem is having a space between Full and Name, furthermore, since it is a parameter name so the convention is to write them in camelcase casing (fullName). Hope this helps.:)

Edit: Another problem I can see with your code is that you are not returning anything in the method, it should return a String type

func getFullName(fullName local:String)->String { //function code }
