What am I doing wrong here? It seems to work like described in the task when I run it in playground..

Is it a bug or have I misunderstood the task?

Kind regards, Pär

structs.swift 
struct Tag {
  let name: String
}

struct Post {
  let title: String
  let author: String
  let tag = Tag(name: "swift")

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

let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment",author: "Apple")

let postDescription = firstPost.description()

You can remove firstPost from inside your description method. That's not needed. But I think the reason it's not currently passing has to do with the default value for the Tag type. Try removing that and adding the Swift tag to the instance instead. That should work.
