Need help with a method I dont know whats going wrong

Help please

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

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

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "bob", lastName: "joy")

let fullName = Person.getFullName(aPerson)

Very close. But you need to call the method on the object, not the class:

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "bob", lastName: "joy")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

In the first line of the above code you are creating a Person object named aPerson. In the second line the code calls the getFullName() method on that object.
