Swift 2.0 Object Oriented Challenge Task 2 of 2.

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.... we try

structs.swift 
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
init (firstName: String, lastName: String) {
    self.firstName = firstName
    self.lastName = lastName
}

Hi Ary,

I've noticed that you ask all your questions twice. Might not be on purpose but would you try to create a question only once? Thanks!

// First you must create an instance of a Person. You do this by gving the instance a name, in this case aPerson.

// Then you must use the struct, Person, to define the characteristics of the struct. The characteristics in this case being firstName and lastName:

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Albert", lastName: "Einstein")

//Finally you must call the instance method and assign the value to a constant, in this case the constant is to be called fullName.

// You assign the value as always by giving it a name (fullName) followed by the = sign. Then you call the method by using .getFullName (you call all methods by using the full stop followed by the method name, e.g you would add to something using .append)

let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()
