how do you solve this?

I don't know what the error is with this code

structs.swift 
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {

   let fullName = "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
   return fullName


    }

   let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Tim", lastName: "Cook") 
let fullName = aPerson.fullName()

}

You're very closed, but 2 small issues here.

  1. You should write the part 2 code outside of the struct definition, as they aren't part of the struct.
  2. the challenge requires you to name the constant myFullName, not fullName.
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {

   let fullName = "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
   return fullName


    }
}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Tim", lastName: "Cook") 
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()   // changed constant's name from fullName => myFullName

Hope it helps.
