class Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
class Doctor: Person { // The parent class is case sensitive.
let theinitial: String
override init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.theinitial = "Dr."
super.init(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName) // Missing t in firstName label.
}
override func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(theinitial) \(lastName)"
}
}
let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")
print(someDoctor.getFullName()) // This uses the method to get your Dr. Smith to print.

22,159 PointsNo problem. Feel free to bring anything else to the forums. We love to help. :)
Try to surround your code with swift before the first line and after the last line with an empty line above and below so that it formats correctly like it did when i pasted it. Helps us to read it. ;)
