Object-Oriented Swift 2.0 Challenge

Hi, I'm getting the "BUMMER" returned from this code check. it tells me that the value being assigned to fullName has to come from calling the getFullName method

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

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

}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

You will pass the challenge if you omit the parenthesis around your return value (String). Although this works, it is not mandatory. These little things can confuse code check sometimes, depending on they way the check is written :(

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

Hope this helps :)
