struct Tag {

    var tag: Tag
    init() {

Thomas. These challenges can be frustrating. Note that you don't need any initializers. structs come with a default one, and that's all that is needed here. You do need, though, to provide the proper parameters when you create tag and post object. Try this:

struct Post {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag

    func description() -> String {
        return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
    }
}

let tag = Tag(name: "swift")
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: tag)

let postDescription = firstPost.description()
