I do not understand why the compiler will not accept a String in a struct of a stored value of tag. Please help
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
var title: String
var author: String
var tag: Tag
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "Get wins", author: "Arius Eich", tag: "Morse")

because the tag
property is not defined as a String
, but as a Tag
. That means that it can only hold instances of the Tag
struct, which a String
is not.
So you have to create a Tag
instance and pass that in, like this:
let firstPost = Post(title: "Get wins", author: "Arius Eich", tag: Tag(name: "Morse"))
