How to add an instance method named getFullName() to the struct definition?

What is my next step in this challenge? The error is: Make sure you're adding an instance method named getFullName() to the struct definition

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

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

}
Person(firstName: "Harry", lastName: "Potter")

The instance method has to act on the instance, not the class. swift ``` struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String

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

} let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Harry", lastName: "Potter") ```

Whoops, markdown error: swift ``` func getFullName() -> String { return "(self.firstName) (self.lastName)" } let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Harry", lastName: "Potter")
