self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}

6,188 PointsHi Tiemoko! Right now, your function definition is a little strange. You're calling getFullName() inside of override definition of getFullName() -- but what you want to do is give it a new return definition, where you're telling it to return "Dr. LastName." You should have something like...
class Doctor : Person {
override func getFullName() -> String {
return "the string you actually want to see"
}
}
... where, of course, "the string you actually want to see" is... well, what you want to see. Hope that helps!
(EDIT: Was missing the function definition in the first pass!)
