What is wrong with my code? I don't see any errors

I'm pretty sure my code is correct but I keep getting the error make sure you're declaring an instance method that returns a string.

structs.swift 
struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post { 
    var title: String
    var author: String
    var tag: Tag 

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

    }

let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name:"Swift") )

let postDescription = firstPost.description()

If you add some Space in between your return type and the function like so: 

func description() -> String

I think your code should compile nicely.

Hey,

Your code is indeed correct as it is. As for the error you are getting, that is very strange. Tried it myself and had no issues at all. The only thing I can think of is the spacing where you have func description()->String which may affect the challenge. That wouldn't affect Xcode at all.

Hope this helps in some way.
