In the editor you've been provided with a Tag type.
Create a struct named Post with three stored properties: title of type String, author of type String, and tag of type Tag.
Then create an instance of Post and assign it to a constant named firstPost.
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "Hello",author: "Pasan",tag: "Me")

let firstPost = Post(title: "Hello", author: "Pasan", tag: Tag(name: "Me"))You can also create a new Tag object before declaring your firstPost variable...
let myTag = Tag(name: "Me")then
let firstPost = Post(title: "Hello", author: "Pasan", tag: myTag)
