What am I doing wrong

class Doctor: Person { override func fullname() -> String { return "Dr. (lastName)" }

}

let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")

objects.swift 
class Person {
  let firstName: String
  let lastName: String 

  init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
    self.firstName = firstName
    self.lastName = lastName
  }

  func fullName() -> String {
    return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
  }
}

// Enter your code below

class Doctor: Person {
    override func fullname() -> String {
        return "Dr. \(lastName)"
    }

}

let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")
