8,839 PointsThis code is working in the Playground, but not in the challenge
The error says I'm using secondName instead of lastName
erinkrentz
8,839 Pointsstruct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName (firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}

1,608 PointsYou need to use the instance properties of the Person struct instead of passing arguments to the function.
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
-edit- replace original answer now that I saw the underlying issue

8,839 PointsThis still doesn't work. Is there any way to skip the challenge?
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func getFullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
return firstName + " " + lastName
}
}

1,608 Pointsah, I see the issue now. You are passing in arguments to the function when you should be using the instance properties. I totally missed that originally, so your original solution will work as long as you remove the function arguments.

Can you post your code so that I can take a look? Maybe I can help, thanks.
