iOS Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift 2.0 Getting Started with iOS Development Swift Recap Part 1

I have tested my code in playground it works but on the test it is failing

I did the code challenge in my playground and it is working with no errors. However when I put it into the code challenge area it is saying "Bummer! Your code could not be compiled"

structs.swift
struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post {
  let title: String
  let author: String
  let tag: Tag

  init(title: String, author:String,name: String) {
    self.title = title
    self.author = author
    self.tag = Tag(name: name)
  }

  func description() -> String {
    return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
  }
}

let firstPost = Post(title:"Test", author: "Me", name: "Somebody")
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

In your firstPost declaration and creation of the instance of the Post object you forgot to create the tag that takes the name. See my code for clarification:

struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag

    func description() -> String {
        return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
    }
}

let firstPost = Post(title: "Test", author: "Me", tag: Tag(name: "Somebody"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

Thanks I didn't see that problem. The way to instantiate a struct or class is always going to cause me problems. Just not used to this kind of syntax
