Are you writing this as part of the Overriding Methods code challenge? This is the provided code at the beginning of the challenge:

class Person {
  let firstName: String
  let lastName: String 

  init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
    self.firstName = firstName
    self.lastName = lastName
  }

  func fullName() -> String {
    return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
  }
}

It looks like you're creating a struct instead of a class and you're missing the initializer.

In this case, self.firstName = firstName is assigning values from the init method to local variables called firstName and lastName?

Louis Cornacchia, no, the values from the init method are not passed to local variables here. They are being set as the values of the properties for that object.
