Unable to assign instance of a person to "somePerson". Please help.

Please find my code below:

protocol UserType { var name: String { get } var age: Int { get set } }

struct Person: UserType { var name: String var age: Int } let person = Person(name:"somePerson") person.name

protocols.swift
protocol UserType {
  var name: String { get }
  var age: Int { get set }
}

struct Person: UserType {
var name: String
var age: Int
}
let person = Person(name:"somePerson")
person.name

Do you have the latest version of Xcode (7.2 as of this writing) installed? The error message I get when I try to run this is much more descriptive:

Missing argument for parameter "age" in call

When you defined the Struct person, a constructor was automatically created for you with both name and age. What you need to do is simply:

let person = Person(name: "somePerson", age: 25)
person.name
