5,391 PointsGiven a struct, create a method that returns a string containing the person’s full name. What am I doing wrong?
My understanding is a method is just a function within a struct. I've created a fullName method.
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName(firstName: String, lastName: String) -> String {
var name = firstName + "" + lastName
}
return name
}
Error returned: Make sure you're adding an instance method named fullName() to the struct definition/

struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName() -> String{
return firstName + " " + lastName
}
}

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,271 Pointsyou are close. they don't want it to take any arguments so take those out, and instead of storing the names, just return them. also in the middle of the names you have an empty string instead of a space " ".

3,388 PointsAfter three days of stubborn perseverance I had to give in to see that I need not have included any arguments in the Method, which really annoyed me as it broke my momentum, making me not want to face programming as I couldn't get past this.
The thing was that I had figured this out a long time before already, subsequently forcing my hand to cheat by checking the answers, which annoyed me further.
My issue is that I expect to use what I learn on a course module and didn't expect to be repeating what I had already done (this is basically declaring variables with a simple function, but combined into an Object) without learning something new: using arguments in a Method (function).
I expect to use what new information I had been absorbing and in this code challenge I learnt nothing new, but it stopped me for three days, I feel cheated myself now. This should have been a more involved coding challenge.
