Not sure why this is wrong.

Here is my code and wondering why it is wrong. The error is saying that "cannot convert return expression of type Person to return type Person" struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String

func getFullName() -> Person {
    return Person


}

}

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

    func getFullName() -> Person {

    return Person

    }
}

It wants that function to return a String, not a Person, and that string should be composed of the firstName variable, a space, and then the lastName variable.

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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