No compile errors. But says compile errors. Nothing in output.

71,830 PointsThomas. These challenges can be frustrating. Note that you don't need any initializers. structs come with a default one, and that's all that is needed here. You do need, though, to provide the proper parameters when you create tag and post object. Try this:
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
func description() -> String {
return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
}
}
let tag = Tag(name: "swift")
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: tag)
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
