Hi,

You need to add a function to this struct. Here's an example:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func xx() String {
      return yy + "  " + zz;
    }
}

"func xx() String" means that you declare a function named xx to struct Person. This function returns a String value.

You can easily modify this example to pass this challenge.

Sorry, it still won't compile! I know i am wrong because i am not involving the structure 'Person'! This is what i have done now!

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