Im not sure what i am doing wrong

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.

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

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

        let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Lil", lastName: "Uzi")

        let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()


    }

}

Hi Kehinde,

You are very close, You need to call the method from outside of the struct:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Lil", lastName: "Uzi")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

Hope that helps
