Need help figuring out why this isn't working. Thanks!
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
let person = Person(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName)
let fullName = "\(person.firstName) \(person.lastName)"
return fullName
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith")
let fullName = Person.getFullName(aPerson)

There are a few minor mistakes in your code. At first, the declaration of the constant person in the method is not needed. Second you should use self.firstName and self.lastName in the fullName constant in the method. Third, you should call the method on the instance of person with aPerson.getFullName(). All in all your code should look something like this:
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
let fullName = "\(self.firstName) \(self.lastName)"
return fullName
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Cena")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()
I tried this and it worked just fine. Hope this helped!
Regards, Jari
