I am really confused about what's happening

The method is called using an instance ,which is aPerson and the same error persists.

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

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

  let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Steve", lastName: "Hunter")
  let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()
  }

Hi there,

If you move your last two lines of code outside the struct, it should work. Move them below the last curly brace. At the moment, they are inside the struct which isn't where you want them. Define the struct, then create instances of it separately.
