iOS Object-Oriented Swift Complex Data Structures Adding Instance Methods

I thought that this would be how it was solved but It says It won't compile. What did I do wrong?

I understand almost everything it asked me except 2 things. this is one of them

structs.swift
struct Person { 
let firstName: String   
let lastName: String 
func fullName() -> String { 
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)" 
    } 
}
let aPerson = Person( firstName: "Antonio", lastName: "Vazquez")
let myFullName = fullName()

Hi there! You're so incredibly close here. You have set up a new person named aPerson and with your first name and last name (presumably). Then you declared a constant named myFullName which should have the the fullName of aPerson assigned to it. The thing you're missing here is that you need to call the method on the instance you created. What you're looking for is aPerson.fullName(). This calls the method on the instance of that Person you just created.

Give it another shot! :sparkles:
