not compiling error but it works on xcode

Question

it works perfectly fine on xcode but isnt compiling on the site. what am i doing wrong?

structs.swift

struct Tag {
    let name: String

    func getName() -> String{
        return name
    }
}

struct Post{
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag

    init (title: String, author: String, name: String){
        self.title = title
        self.author = author
        self.tag = Tag(name: name)
    }

    func description() -> String {
        let tagName = tag.getName()
        let description = "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tagName)"
        return description
    }

}

let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", name: "swift")

let postDescription = firstPost.description()

Too complicated.

1) Structs do not need initializers. 2) You can remove the Tag.getName() function and just reference tag.name instead. 3) A few unnecessary variables that could be trimmed, but that is more personal preference.

My implementation looks like this.

struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag

    func description() -> String {
        return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
    }

}
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
