Swift Methods and Struct challenge

I am having trouble setting up the instance and function in this Swift struct challenge to return the first and last name. Not sure what code is missing (perhaps a loop?)

thanks

structs.swift 
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func getFullName(names: String)->String
    {
       let nameOfPerson = firstName + lastName
        return nameOfPerson
    }


let getFullName = String(firstName: , lastName: )

The challenge asks you to account for a space in between the names, which you're not doing. This should work:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func getFullName() -> String{
        //Notice the space in the middle
        return firstName + " " + lastName
    }
}

The response from the Treehouse editor keeps saying : "Make sure you're adding an instance method named getFullName() to the struct definition."

Any tips on syntax?
