1,430 PointsI don't know what my struct type is...?
I'm doing the code challenge, and it started me off with a struct called Tag. I created a new struct called Post, and then had to initialize it. But when I try to, it's not accepting it because I can't give a correct Tag type. I thought it would be a string because in the Tag Struct it's only parameter was a String, but it's not working. Thank you for your help.
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "Help", author: "Please", tag: "I dont get it")

Lets take a look at an instance creation of Post.
when you create an instance of post, you need to input three variables:
Post(title: String, author: String, tag: Tag)
for your property tag, you have defined it as TYPE TAG within the Post struct. Therefor you create an Instance of Tag, within your Post instance like so:
let firstPost = Post(title: "Harry Potter", author: "JK Rowling", tag: Tag(name: "Bad Books"))
I hope this helps.
