Override

How do I override "fullName"? and do I have to override "init(firstName: String, lastName: String)" too?

objects.swift
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)"
  }
}

// Enter your code below

class Doctor: Person {


     override init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {


            super.init(firstName: Sam, lastName: Smith)
    }

    override fullName() -> String {

        }




}
let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: Sam, lastName: Smith)

Hi Nathan - You override the the fullName function by providing the override keyword before the function

 override func fullName() -> String {
        return "Dr. \(lastName)"
    }
