47,912 PointsYour code looks really good! The only real problem I see is that the return type is different than what the challenge is expecting. The challenge is expecting a String, but you're returning a (String), which is subtley different. In Swift, when you're talking about data types, it's important whether or not you're wrapping your type in parentheses. If it's wrapped in parentheses, it makes it a tuple with a single value of your type. A tuple is basically just an immutable Array. Thus, your code is returning a tuple with a single value of type String, but you want it to return just a String. If you remove the parentheses there and put a space between firstName and lastName in the String you return, I believe you'll pass the challenge. Great job!

2,393 PointsAhh i see, I didn't catch that I had put the string around parenthesis. Thank you.
I am having one additional problem. It is telling me that I need to ensure that there is a space between the first and last name and cannot figure out how to do so, could you lend me some assistance?
