Code works in Xcode with desired results but not in Team Tree House code editor.

I double checked the instructions. I don't know if this has to do with different versions of XCode. I have the latest Xcode and the desired results appear when I put this into a playground but the code editor in TeamTreeHouse won't accept my code.

Does anyone know what the problem is or should I contact support?

structs.swift 
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.name)"
    }
}

let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

The code checker for challenges like this is often very picky about the string you return/print. It has to match the expected string to the letter, including the exact same spacing.

The issue with your code is that you have two spaces in a row in the middle of the string, if you remove one of those extra spaces like this:

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.name)"
    }
}

let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

Then your code will be accepted.

Thanks so much. I knew it had to be something easily overlooked. Really appreciate it. If it happens again I’ll make sure to look for extra white space. Jeesh.
