Assigning the constants is kinda confusing, not sure which is which
Challenge Task 2 of 2
Let's use the struct to create an instance of Person and assign it to a constant named aPerson. Assign any values you want to the first and last name properties.
Once you have an instance, call the instance method and assign the full name to a constant named fullName.

struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: String, lastName: String)
aPerson.fullName()

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Steve", lastName: "Hunter")
Then you need to assign the returned full name into a constant called fullName:
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Steve", lastName: "Hunter")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()
I didn't run the challenge before - I just saw the method was wrong! I'm clearly in a rush to get to the pub. ;-)

1,572 PointsI already tried aPerson.fullName() and aPerson.getFullName(). Neither one works. In Playgrounds, it says "Missing argument for parameter 'lastName' in call. Not sure whats going on.

57,712 PointsHi Matt,
The method is getFullName() not just fullName().
