iOS Object-Oriented Swift Complex Data Structures Adding Instance Methods

Structs in Swift

"Given the struct below in the editor, we want to add a method that returns the person’s full name. Declare a method named fullName() that returns a string containing the person’s full name. Note: Make sure to allow for a space between the first and last name."

My code sort of looks right to me, at least it is getting somewhere. I am not sure how to proceed with finishing the exercise. The instructor goes quite fast and covers many different things to keep track of.

structs.swift
struct Person (fullName: "String") -> String {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
    let fullName()
  return fullName()
}

Since it's a struct, leave that part alone:

struct Person{
  let firstName: String
  let lastName: String

Then you need to add a function to the struct that will return the first and last name:

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

And close it all up, and if you want to test it, you can do something like this:

}

let demo = Person(firstName: "Tree", lastName: "House")
demo.getFullName()

Hope that helps.

I followed this and it does not seem to work...

EDIT I took out that last chunk and added another ending bracket, then it worked. Thanks for the help!

My apologies, that method should be called:

func fullName() -> String {

Ok, glad to hear that worked. :)
