iOS Development Techdegree Student 1,728 PointsReceiving Compiler Error in Web Editor
My code appears to work fine in Xcode (no warnings no errors), but when I copy it over to the web editor on the Treehouse site I receive a compiler error. It indicated to check the preview tab for errors. None are displayed there. Thanks for any help here.
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
init(postTitle: String, postAuthor: String, postTag: Tag) {
self.title = postTitle
self.author = postAuthor
self.tag = postTag
}
func description() -> String {
return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
}
}
let firstPost = Post(postTitle: "iOS Development", postAuthor: "Mike Ballew", postTag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

10,325 PointsI could be wrong, but where you have: init(postTitle: String, postAuthor: String, postTag: Tag) maybe you should be initializing the values as title, author, and tag (without the post). Don't structs have built-in init methods anyway?

iOS Development Techdegree Student 1,728 PointsYou are correct in that the init was unnecessary. Not sure about the variable name. I may go back and see... although Xcode had no issue. I removed the init yesterday after some research. Somebody had done the same thing I was trying and receiving the same error. Weird that Xcode was fine with it. Thanks for your feedback.
