Answer

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Val", lastName: "Smith")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

Explanation

You were passing the Val and Smith strings as arguments, but were not initializing the Person struct, i.e. 

Person(firstName: "Val", lastName: "Smith")

getFullName() is a method of the Person struct, so to call it, you need to prefix the method with your initialized variable, i.e. 

aPerson.getFullName()

and then assign it to the fullName variable.
