iOS Object-Oriented Swift 2.0 Complex Data Structures Adding Instance Methods

Why does this code return that I didn't add an instance method?

I clearly added an instance method called getFullName, but the code challenge is prompting me to add this instance method..

structs.swift 
    struct Person {
        let firstName: String;
        let lastName: String;
        func getFullName () -> String{
            return ("\(firstName) \(lastName)");
        }
    }

Hello, maybe try "func getFullName() -> String {" you have some space at the wrong place. I have no Xcode here to try it. Just saw it and maybe it helps.

you need to create an instance of the struct and call it as well. 

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Nina", Michael: "") 
let fullName = Person.getFullName()
