2,387 PointsYour override function needs a return value (different then the superclass)
let doctorName = "Dr. \(lastName)"
return doctorName
then check your Doctor parameters too when creating the instance !

1,442 PointsI am missing something in this let
someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Dr.", lastName: lastName)

2,387 PointsDr is not your first name ! You can just type you're real first name and last name, the return value for the method in the doctor class ignores the firstname and adds the lastname to the Dr. String
