1,182 Pointsi was only able to solve the upper part due to previous help. i have no idea what is going and why :( can u xplain pls?
Let's 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.
Once you have an instance, call the instance method and assign the full name to a constant named fullName.
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Aditya", lastName: "Gawade")
let fullName = Person.getFullName

This function is using a concept in swift called string interpolation, which means you can amend a variable inside a text , you do this by mentioning the variable name inside (). so when you have something like
"my name is \(nameVariable)" // this will return a text with the value of nameVariable
The fucntion getfullName is just doing this interpolation for firstName and lastName and returns a string that contains firstName and lastName content with a space inbetween.
The last two lines of your code is creating an instance of the struct by passing values to the structintializer. The last line is calling the getFullName on the instance you created. however it is not written correctly.. it should be
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()
