structs.swift

struct Person {

    let lastName: String
    }

Hey! You're pretty close. When you declare the instance function, you don't need to add arguments for this challenge.

func getFullName() -> String {
}

Now within the return statement, you're literally telling it to return "firstNamelastName". The literally words, not what they would compute to being. But you're close. To interpolate string/variable data like you're needing, you need to use the backslash paren syntax. And with this, you don't need a plus sign because the compiler will see the whitespace.

//In a return statement this would be "Justin Nipper"
let variableName = "Justin"
let anotherVariableName = "Nipper"
"\(variableName) \(anotherVariableName)"

//If you put the two variables you interpolated together without the space, it would return "JustinNipper"
"\(variableName)\(anotherVariableName)"

So to put your return statement together, it should look like this:

return  "\(firstName) \(lastName)"

Now, the next issue you're going to have is the return statement you wrote evaluates "firstname" & "lastname" but the struct is defining "firstName" & "lastName". (note the camel case letters. It'll cause you another issue).

With all that, the code should finally look like this:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
    func getFullName() -> String {

        return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
    }
}
