Swift 2 protocol conformance challenge not accepted

protocol PrettyPrintable {
    var prettyDescription: String { get }
}

struct User: PrettyPrintable {
    let name: String
    let ID: Int

    var prettyDescription: String {
        return "\(name), ID: \(ID)"
    }
}

The message I get is "Bummer! Make sure you extend User and conform to PrettyPrintable."

I think I've done that? It works in Xcode. I'm in Swift 3, but I'm sure my solution follows the format in the video.

Thanks for your help! Darcy

protocols.swift 
protocol PrettyPrintable {
    var prettyDescription: String { get }
}

struct User: PrettyPrintable {
    let name: String
    let ID: Int

    var prettyDescription: String {
        return "\(name), ID: \(ID)"
    }
}

// Enter your code below

Your code should work, but the task is to extend User. Maybe you have to write an extension on User and add the property there:

protocol PrettyPrintable {
    var prettyDescription: String { get }
}

struct User {
    let name: String
    let ID: Int
}

// Enter your code below
extension User: PrettyPrintable {
    var prettyDescription: String {
        return "\(name), ID: \(ID)"
    }
}
