Bummer! Make sure you're adding an instance method named getFullName() to the struct definition

Hello:

Perhaps you are overthinking. It is very important to follow the directions of the challenge. You should do them step by step. Let's break it down.

Challenge Task 1 of 2

1. Given the struct below in the editor, we want to add a method that returns the person’s full name.
2. Declare a method named getFullName() that returns a string containing the person’s full name.
3. Note: Make sure to allow for a space between the first and last name

// Step 1.

/*
 We know that they want us to create a function. 
"Method" is the name of a function that is inside a class or struct.
*/

// Step 2. 

// Declaring a method

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

// A method that returns a String, and has no parameters.
func getFullName() -> String {
 return "\(firstName ) \(lastName)"
}

/* 
It is important to know that in the description does not 
say that we have to give parameters to this method.
*/
}

// Step 3

/*
We provided a space in "\(firstName )". 
*/

Challenge Task 2 of 2

1. Let's use the struct to create an instance of Person and assign it to a constant named aPerson.
2. Assign any values you want to the first and last name properties.
3. 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)"
   }
}

// Step 1 & 2

// For step 2 we are assigning "John" & "Smith"

// Here we are declaring a constant and assigning an instance of Person to it. 
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith")

// aPerson is now an instance of Person.

// Step 3

let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

by calling aPerson.getFullName() we get in return a String of the full name as implemented in the getFullName function. That value is then assign to a constant named "fullName".

I hope this answer helps you a bit more. I know it can get frustrating sometimes, but remember the more you practice the more you will understand it. At some point when I was learning, I was in the same situation as you, but now it makes a lot more sense to me. So keep up the good work and good luck.
