what's wrong with the code

I don't see where else I can change?

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")

Your fullName method is missing a closing bracket.

If you add one like this:

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)"
  } // <- This ending bracket was missing from your code
}

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

Then your code will be accepted.
