10,612 PointsChallenge not passing because postDescription doesn't match... but it does... I think
Can someone please shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
func description() -> String {
return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)"
}
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

10,612 PointsThanks much Matt. Not sure how I missed that when I ran it in a playground. I added the second space after it didn't compile initially, thinking maybe there were two spaces in the instructions.

23,970 PointsYour are very close in the function you need tag.name
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()

4,548 PointsHey Kenneth,
You're very nearly there! Currently, you're trying to interpolate the value of the entirety of your tag. In this example, this will result in an output of "iOSDevelopment by Apple. Filed under Tag(name: "swift")".
So what you want to do is grab the name property of your tag and interpolate it into your string.
That should do you nicely. Be careful if you're tweaking your current description method to equal the one I've mentioned here, as you have two white spaces following the full stop after your author interpolation. The compiler is very specific when it comes to your output. Hope this helps!
