I don't know what I do inside the method or function but anyways here is the question: Given the struct below in the editor, we want to add a method that returns the person’s full name. Declare a method named fullName() that returns a string containing the person’s full name. Note: Make sure to allow for a space between the first and last name.
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
}
func fullName(a b: String = 1) -> [Point] {
var results = [Point]()
}

I think you should review the videos about methods (or functions). Right now your code goes in a very different direction to what the task actually asks for. Some hints:
1) the function needs to be inside the struct, otherwise it is not a method
2) the method should return a full name - which is a string - not an array of points (points do not make any sense here)
3) the method does not need to take any parameters, it may simply return firstName and lastName (separated by a space)

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsI'm not sure who 'downvoted' this response or why!? The response is correct and the content on point.
Joshua Nilsson I agree with Christian about reviewing the video about methods. I'm not sure where or why you have an array of Points in your code, or why there is a variable being declared inside. Neither really has anything to do with the method the task is asking for.
Understanding methods will be very important in Swift or any Object Oriented Programming, so have a read of what Christian wrote and review the video with those points in mind. Then give the challenge another go.
Keep Coding!
