I'm confused as to why my code is wrong

It is stating that the error is that my code doesn't return a string. But it does...and I know that because it worked in Xcode and returned both the first and last name with a space in between. I need to know what is wrong.

structs.swift
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func fullName() -> String {
        let firstName = "Khadeeja"
        let lastName = "Yasser"
        let fullThing = firstName + " " + lastName
        return fullThing
    }
}

let someThing = Person(firstName: "Khadeeja", lastName: "Yasser")
someThing.fullName()

The important thing to note here is that you should not be hardcoding values inside your method. You should delete these lines:

let firstName = "Khadeeja"
let lastName = "Yasser"

The whole point of the method is that you can pass in whatever values you like later. Let me know if you need any more help.
