Didn't work

I did it exactly how it asked, and it will not work. It compiled perfectly in Xcode also...

structs.swift
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func getFullName() -> (String) {
        return firstName + " " + lastName
    }}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ryan", lastName: "Minnick")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

Great work! Very close. No need to put brackets around the return type.

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func getFullName() -> String {  // No brackets around return type.
        return firstName + " " + lastName
    }}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ryan", lastName: "Minnick")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

No idea why workspace cares about this. While it is not "required" it is not syntatically incorrect. But one thing I have learnt about workspaces is it does not like things that are not required. ;)

is that because of parsing? o _raw_intNS

Not sure. All I know is workspaces cares about syntatic perfection. ;)
