you are declaring a constant with the name "firstPost" but you don´t assign a value to this constant. Have you already tried to assign a value/instance to this constant?

4,374 PointsThe instructions say the following: "Create an instance of Post and assign it to a constant named firstPost."
That means you have to create an object of the type Post and assign it to the constant. Because a struct provides a default initializer method you can just simple create an object like the following code shows.
let firstPost: Post = Post(title: "AnyTitle", author: "AnyAuthor", tag: Tag(name: "AnyName"))
