This code won't compile and run in treehouse (but works fine in Xcode). Worse, no compiler errors show up in the preview window, so I don't know what the treehouse compiler is having trouble with. It does seem to have something to do with the last line of code since the error goes away when I remove it.
struct Person {
let firstName: String = "Bob"
let lastName: String = "Roberts"
func getFullName() -> String {
let theName = firstName + " " + lastName
return theName
}
}
let aPerson = Person()
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

iOS Development Techdegree Student 9,170 PointsHey Mark,
Your code is correct indeed, the problem is just that Treehouse is not asking you to assign any value to firstName or lastName and you should also remove the instantiation of person as it is not required for this task.
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return firstName + " " + lastName
}
}

9,873 PointsThanks Tassia! It looks like you are referring to challenge task 1. My question was about challenge task 2, which does ask you to instantiate Person and call the instance method. Sorry for the confusion.
