I don't understand how can i create a method fullname() which returns a string of struct type.

Question

In the last video you have made a method which returns an array of string which are Point types. But i don't understand how i can return a string that is Person type. Please explain ... I am stuck in here since last 2 days.

Qiestion: Given the struct below in the editor, we want to add a method that returns the person’s full name. Declare a method named fullName() that returns a string containing the person’s full name. Note: Make sure to allow for a space between the first and last name

structs.swift

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
}

String and Person are both types. In Swift, objects can only have one type, so you can't return something that's both a Person and a String. In this challenge, they're just asking you to return a String.

I'll help you get started:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {
      [insert your code here]
  }
}

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Jose", lastName: "Esplana")
let myFullName =  aPerson.fullName()
