Treehouse TeacherI see a couple of problems here. aPerson should be an instance of a person and the fullName should refer to the full name of the person created. Here is my code. See if it makes more sense when you see it typed out.
The first thing you want to do is create the method to return a string containing the full name of the person. That part was executed brilliantly by you.
The second thing we want to do is create a constant named "aPerson" and create a new instance of a person and assign it to to that constant.
Third, we want to create a new constant named "fullName" and assign it the string that's returned from the method when run on the aPerson we just created.
It seems like somewhere in your logic you got the aPerson and fullName constants mixed up a bit. Happens to us all!
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String{
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Jane", lastName: "Doe");
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName();
