I just can't figure this out!!!

I am not able to get it. i've been trying this from last one hour but am able to crack this.

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

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

The step after this challenge which asks to create an instance method getFullName() in the struct Person, am not able to crack that.

Are you having trouble with part 2 of this challenge?

part 2 requires you to do 2 things, and it goes as follow.

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

// step 1
// use the struct to create an instance of Person and assign it to a constant named aPerson.
// Assign any values you want to the first and last name properties.
let aPerson = Person(firstName:"John", lastName:"Doe")

// step 2
// call the instance method and assign the full name to a constant named fullName.
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

Let me know if you have question about the code.
