Hello Duke,

So you got it right, the only thing is that you are doing a very common silly mistake that we all make when we first start coding, right before we become masters of the code world lol.

You are leaving some spaces on the function signature. fullName (), and also notice how the challenge says to make sure to leave a space in between the names.. ** (firstName) ( lastName)**.

func fullName() -> String {
  return "\(firstName) \( lastName)" // You can return directly and avoid creating a variable
}

Good luck
