Do not know what I'm really supposed to do here!

This is what I've done:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
}

func getFullRemainder() -> {
  return "\(Person)"
}

You should add a method to the struct that returns a string for the full name. This means that that the method should append the last name to the first name. You can do it like this:

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

After that in the second assignment you can instantiate a Person from the struct and assign it to a constant 'aPerson' and call the method to get the full name on it. You can assign the result to a variable 'fullName' like this:

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Jeroen", lastName: "de Vrind")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

In a playground you can test this and print the fullName with:

print(fullName)
