not to sure why it will not compile

I almost definite that I followed the directions as follows and when i type this entire thing into Xcode, it compiles just fine with the correct answer. Can someone explain my error and demonstrate the correct way to write this line

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

    func fullName() -> String {
        let full = firstName + " "  + lastName
        return full


    }

}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Eddie", lastName: "Aguilar")
let myFullName = fullName()

Eddie,

fullName() is part of the struct. Try aPerson.fullName()
