iOS Object-Oriented Swift Complex Data Structures Adding Instance Methods

I'm not sure why this is not correct. There is nothing in the preview. Please help me. Thank you.

When this is put into XCode, the result of myFullName is this: () -> String. Not sure why.

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

This line of code will not leave a space between first name and last. The challenge states that you must have a space between the names. Use string interpolation.

return (firstName + lastName)

You need a () at the end of your method.

let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()

Thank you Chris! It works now.
