iOS Object-Oriented Swift 2.0 Complex Data Structures Adding Instance Methods

getfullName instancd method issue

struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String

func getFullName (fullName: Person) -> String/* <- This is the Instance method but the compiler on the website says Bummer! Make sure you're adding an instance method named getFulleName(). This runs fine in the playground. Not sure what is wrong*/
{
  return firstName + lastName
}

} let fullName = Person(firstName: "Ben", lastName: " Forrester") fullName.getFullName(fullName)

structs.swift
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func getFullName (fullName: Person) -> String
    {
      return firstName + lastName
    }
}
let fullName = Person(firstName: "Ben", lastName: " Forrester")
fullName.getFullName(fullName)

Hey Ben,

you don't have to give the getFullName method any parameters as the method already has access to the stored properties of the struct. The second problem I can see is that you forgot to add a space between the first name and the last name.

This is a working example for the first task of the challenge:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

I hope that helps! :)
