I keep getting an error stating that I have not declared the method getFullName() when I have. Please help!

Hopefully self-explanatory when you see my code. Eager to understand where I'm going wrong.

structs.swift 
struct Person {

    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

}

Hi Henry, why do you want to pass firstName and lastName as parameters to the method? Getting past this challenge is as easy as following the rules in the question :) 

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

I confused myself with regards to scope. Thinking that I had to pass the parameters in order to call upon them within the method.

Thank you so much for your help!
