Not sure which part is incorrect

Seems all right to me? Any help would be appreciated.

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

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

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "William", lastName: "Lee")
let fullname = aPerson.getFullName()

You probably have to use an init, not a function. Check this out:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

        init(fname: String, lname: String) {
            firstName = fname
            lastName = lname
        }
}

let aPerson = Person(fname: "Hi", lname: "Secondname")
// This might not be the way they want it
let fullname = "\(aPerson.fname) \(aPerson.lname)"

You can access them by Person.fname and Person.lname
