You sort of had the write idea. See my notes in your code:
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
func description() -> (String) {
return ("\(title) \(author) \(tag)") // add misc text in-between your interpolations to get the desired output of the challenge.
}
}
let df = Tag(name: "Filed under swift") //Add the unnecessary text to the string portion of your description method. Then call the tag as part of firstPost.
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: df)
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
Here is how I did this:
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
func description() -> String {
return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)" //pull the name property from tag
}
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "Swift")) // call Post
let postDescription = firstPost.description() // call description method.
I hope this helps.
