How to call the instance method and assign the full name to a constant

Question

Hello, I tried to manage this challenge, but something is wrong.

Please explain to me where my mistakes are.

Cheers,

Ken

structs.swift

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
    func fullName()-> String {
    var Name = "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
    return Name 
    } 
}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ken", lastName: "Gerlinger")

let myFullName = aPerson

Hello Ken,

You are doing good.. In fact, all you needed was just one small thing to pass the challenge.

// YOUR CODE

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
    func fullName()-> String {
    var Name = "\(firstName) \(lastName)" // properties should have lower case
    return Name 
    } 
}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ken", lastName: "Gerlinger")

let myFullName = aPerson //<-- Missing the instance method call

// You are not calling the method from the instance.
// The method is the one that creates the full name.

Things we can do to improve the code

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {
    return "\(firstName) \(lastName)" // You can call these properties directly in the return
    }
}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ken", lastName: "Gerlinger")
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName() // Calling the instance method

You did well, just small little details that you will learn to make your code look and function better as you practice more.

Good luck.
