Courses Plus Student 6,937 Pointsissue with calling a stored property with type struct
how do utilize the stored property of type struct? - "tag" is of type "Tag" which is causing me confusion
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)"
}
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: Tag.init(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

as you have it reads "iOSDevelopment by Apple. Filed under Tag(name: "swift")"
. This is good indication that you need to add the property name
to your tag
interpolation:
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: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
Also, you don't need that init
keyword in your instance of Tag
.

Courses Plus Student 6,937 PointsThanks. I had tried the tag.name earlier but I must have had another error.
