You don't need to add parameters to the getFullName() function. In fact, what you have written there is syntactically incorrect. Basically, what your function seems to be doing is passing a parameter a that is of type firstName, which is not a valid type. On top of that, you are not even using the parameters in the function at all.

All you need to do for that function is this:

func getFullName() -> String {
    return firstName + " " + lastName
}

or even

func getFullName() -> String {
    return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}

to use string interpolation to accomplish the same task.

Hope this helps!
