Write a function called fullName which takes two String parameters: firstName and lastName. It concatenates the two parameters and returns them as the fullName.
Is this good?
func fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
return firstName + lastName
}

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsLooks good to me. Although I'd like to add a space in between your first and last name to make output look nicer
func fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) ->String {
return firstName + " " + lastName
}
One more thing, println("Performer's identity is = \(fullName (Iggy,Azalea))") won't work, because fullName takes 2 strings arguments, and neither of what you pass in is String. You can do it like this instead:
let name = fullName("Iggy", "Azalea")
println("Performer's identity is = \(name)")
// => "Performer's identity is = Iggy Azalea"

764 PointsThis doesn't work for me, all kinds of weird things happening. I have:
func fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
return firstName + lastName
}
When I call this with fullName I get this weirdness.
fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String)
Except firstName: String are editable and only String for the second part is??? What is going on.
I should be able to have this:
func fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
return firstName + lastName
}
print(fullName("Phil","Hanson"))
But this doesn't work.

4,974 PointsOh right! I have to declare a variable or constant first! AArrrghhhhh.
Thanks William
func fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
return firstName + lastName
}
let name = fullName("Iggy", "Azalea")
println("Performer's identity is = \(name)")
Would there ever be a situation where the let statement would be above the func?

func fullName (firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
fullName("Iggy", "Azalea")

println("Performer's identity is = \(fullName (Iggy,Azalea))")
