Please Help me. Don't know why I still get an error.
class Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String
init(firstName: String, lastName: String) { self.firstName = firstName self.lastName = lastName }
func fullName() -> String { return "(firstName) (lastName)" } }
// Enter your code below class Doctor : Person { override func getFullName() -> String { return "Dr. (lastName)" } }
let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith") someDoctor.getFullName()
class Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}
func fullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
// Enter your code below
class Doctor : Person {
override func getFullName() -> String {
return "Dr. \(lastName)"
}
}
let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")
someDoctor.getFullName()

Courses Plus Student 7,494 PointsHi Cruiz,
One issue I can see is in your Doctor class you are attempting to override a method that doesn't exist in the parent class. The method in the Doctor class should have the same name and signature as the parent class method. E.g.
override func fullName() -> String {
return "Dr. \(lastName)"
}
Hope that makes sense
Ian
