My Code is working in the playground but I get an error in the code challenge. What's wrong?

struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String }

func getFullName(name: Person) -> String { let fullName = name.firstName + " " + name.lastName return fullName }

var marcel = Person(firstName: "Marcel", lastName: "Barthold") getFullName(marcel)

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

func getFullName(name: Person) -> String {
    let fullName = name.firstName + " " + name.lastName
    return fullName
}

Hi Marcel,

Code that works in the playground isn't subject to the tests the challenges need to pass. A playground just applies Swift syntax tests.

Here, the challenge wants you to create a function as part of the struct. That would look like:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func getFullName() -> String{
      return self.firstName + " " + self.lastName
    }
}

I hope that helps.

Steve.
