Creating an Instance of a Struct: I can't tell where I went wrong let myBook = Book { title : "Animal Farm", author:"Ge

let myBook = Book { title : "Animal Farm", author:"George Orwell", price: 6.00}

I think the syntax is correct except for the spaces.

structs.swift 
struct Book {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let price: Double
}

// Enter your code below

Hey Melinda,

You made a very small and common mistake. When passing parameters to create a struct we don't use brackets, we use parenthesis, like below:

struct Book {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let price: Double
}

// Enter your code below

let myBook = Book(title: "Animal Farm", author: "George Orwell", price: 6.00)

Hope this helps, Rodrigo
