Not working the same way as the video with the recent update

Here's my code and it doesn't work the same way as you see on the video. That's the swift version I have.

Apple Swift version 3.0.2 (swiftlang-800.0.63 clang-800.0.42.1) Target: x86_64-apple-macosx10.9

Any help would be appreciated

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let middleName: String?
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {
        if middleName == nil {
            return firstName + " " + lastName
        } else {
        return firstName + " " + middleName! + " " + lastName
    }
}

let me = Person(firstName: "Jonathan", middleName: nil, lastName: "Hector")
me.fullName()

let airportCodes = ["CDG": "Charles De Gaule"]
let newYorkAirport = airportCodes["JFK"]

Hi Jonathan,

I believe you are missing a curly bracket after the line 

return firstName + " " + middleName! + " " + lastName
