Not sure which part is wrong

I'm a little hungover but please help :D

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

    func getFullName(firstName a: String , lastName b: String) -> String {
    return \(firstName) + " " + \(lastName)
    }

}

Your formatting for the return string statement is incorrect. There are two ways to use variables with Strings:

<p>1. String interpolation:</p> <br>This is when you get the value of a variable using

"\(variableName)"

</br> When you do this, you interpolate within the string itself, meaning your desired return statement would be: <p>

return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"

</p> <p>2. Concatenation: <\p> <p>This is when you add together, say two variable strings, to get a new combined string. <\p> Using concatenation, your return statement would be: <p>

return firstName + " " + lastName;

<\p>
