Harshal,

You are creating inputs for your function. We don't really need to do this, because when we call the method fullName, we want to pull from the existing data structure, not input a new first and last name.

Here is what your code should look like:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {
        return firstName + " " + lastName
    }

}

Now to try and piece how this code actually works with this:

let dude = Person(firstName: "Joe", lastName: "Murray") //Setup your first and last name
dude.fullName() //Call the fullname function. Returns Joe Murray

I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the help !!! I was stuck on this one for a long time !!!!

Heres a little bit of a different way to do it.

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {
        return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
    }
}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Nicholas", lastName: "Richardson")
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()
