You created an instance of Person named fullName. The first task is asking you to create a method, think of it as a function, inside the Person struct.

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
    func fullName() -> String {
      return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
    }
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Bob", lastName: "Joe")
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()
