Challenge Task 2 of 2
Let's use the struct to create an instance of Person and assign it to a constant named aPerson. Assign any values you want to the first and last name properties.
Once you have an instance, call the instance method and assign the full name to a constant named fullName.
I miss same thing here.... confuso
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}

struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
You should create a person and store it in a constant aPerson:
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ary", lastName: "de Oliveira")
You should then call its instance method (getFullName) and store it in a constant named fullName:
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()
The fullName constant would now contain the value:

26,873 PointsOkay, so you have a definition of a Person-struct. In Swift structs automatically have a constructor generated for them if one is not specified. The automatic constructor requires all fields specified upon creation. This particular struct has two fields, that need to be given a value upon creation: firstName and lastName.
The hidden constructor would look something like this:
init (firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}

26,873 PointsThat's great to hear. Happy learning.

26,873 PointsYou shouldn't write that particular constructor it is already there behind the scenes. What you need to do is create a person using the Person-struct and then get its full name and store it in some variable.
I'll show you how it is done. If you need more help don't be afraid to ask. You create structs using their constructors - the ones marked with the init keyword.
struct Dog {
let name: String
}
This Dog-struct has an implicit constructor (a hidden one that you can use) that requires a name. It looks something like this:
init (name: String) {
self.name = name
}
If I want to create a dog named Spot I would do it like this:
Dog(name: "Spot")
