Bummer on code challenge.

Hi guys! My code works perfectly in Xcode but is bumming in code challenge. This is the error message: "Make sure you are declaring a method called description that returns a String"

This is my code:

struct Tag { let name: String }

struct Post { let title: String let author: String let tag: Tag

func description()->String{
    return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)"
}

}

let tag = Tag(name: "swift") let firstPost = Post(title:"iOS Development", author:"Apple", tag: tag) let postDescription = firstPost.description()

I remember having issues with the Treehouse complier and spaces in function definitions... Try adding spaces after the method name and the return type as follows:

func description() -> String { 
    return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)"
}

Thank you Kevin! I've already tried changing spaces in many ways but it's still bumming.
