Swift Structs Problem - Can't seem to get it to execute correctly

I can't seem to get my code to work. When I try to do a print(firstPost.description()) it prints:

⧵(title) by ⧵(author). Filed under ⧵(tag)

instead of the actual contents of the interpolation.

structs.swift 
struct Tag {
  let name: String
}

struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag

    func description() -> String {
    return "⧵(title) by ⧵(author). Filed under ⧵(tag)"
}
}

let firstPost = Post(title: "ios Development", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

Hey Justin this one got me as well.

The issue is in your string interpolation.

It should be tag.name

return "(title) by (author). Filed under (tag.name)" } }

let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS-Development", author: "Don", tag: Tag(name: "Swift")) let postDescription = firstPost.description()

I hope that helps!
