Hi,

structs.swift
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

let fullName = Person(firstName: "Emilio", lastName: "Robres")
fullName.getFullName()

In the Xcode works perfectly.

you have to assign fullName to a constant, read over the instructions if needed

Hi there,

The tests behind the challenge are expecting certain things to be true. Your instance of Person is expected to be called aPerson. The method is called fullName and the last task is expecting a constant called myFullName to hold the full name of the Person object after a call to the method you created in the first task.

If you don't create the correct names, the tests may fail even if your code 'works' in Xcode. But if the challenge wants an instance to be called aPerson and you call it fullName there's a risk that the challenge will fail as the output isn't what was required to pass the tests. Indeed the failure message says, Bummer! Make sure the value you're assigning to aPerson is an instance of Person

I hope that makes sense.

Steve.
