Not sure what codes I am doing wrong
Challenge Task 1 of 2
Given the struct below in the editor, we want to add a method that returns the person’s full name. Declare a method named getFullName() that returns a string containing the person’s full name. Note: Make sure to allow for a space between the first and last name

struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) -> [Person]
}
return getFullName

There's a couple of ways of doing this. Here's my attempt:
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
The function needs to be inside the struct and return the full name; a string. I used interpolation; you could concatenate, if you want.
Does that make sense?
Steve.

1,572 PointsYeah, interpolation is better than concatenate. Didn't realize that return is supposed to be inside the function instead of outside. Still have some learning to do! Thanks for your help
