Does the name of the struct have to match the file name?

In the example the file name is FactBook.swift and the struct is FactBook {}. Is it required they match?

Hi Kenneth,

You can name it whatever you like :) If you do change it. Make sure you update the viewController

Just to add to Kenneth's answer, because I had a similar question. His answer helped me, but just to add to it

It's the struct name that you have to use in the viewController

So in the viewController code you declare your variable as an instance of the struct name, not the file name.

e.g. let yourVarialbeName = TheStructName()

Hope that also helps
