Hello, I tried to manage this challenge, but something is wrong.
Please explain to me where my mistakes are.
Cheers,
Ken
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName()-> String {
var Name = "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
return Name
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ken", lastName: "Gerlinger")
let myFullName = aPerson

You are doing good.. In fact, all you needed was just one small thing to pass the challenge.
// YOUR CODE
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName()-> String {
var Name = "\(firstName) \(lastName)" // properties should have lower case
return Name
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ken", lastName: "Gerlinger")
let myFullName = aPerson //<-- Missing the instance method call
// You are not calling the method from the instance.
// The method is the one that creates the full name.
Things we can do to improve the code
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)" // You can call these properties directly in the return
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Ken", lastName: "Gerlinger")
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName() // Calling the instance method
You did well, just small little details that you will learn to make your code look and function better as you practice more.
Good luck.
