Hi, I think I'm doing this right, but I keep getting the error that my code cannot be compiled. Am I calling the instance method correctly?
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName() -> String {
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Fredrick", lastName: "Barrett")
}
let myFullName = Person.fullName()
}

Your fullName
method needs to return the full name of the instance. Inside the method, interpolate both member constants into one string, separated by a space.
Then, outside of the class, create aPerson
, as you have done. Then call fullName
on aPerson
and assign the result of that into myFullName
.
Make sense?
Steve.

57,712 PointsHi Frederick,
The func
puts the two names together and returns them. I'll use interpolation for this but you could use concatenation, with a space.
func fullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
That sits inside the class. Outside the class, create a new instance of Person
. You've done this already:
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Fredrick", lastName: "Barrett")
Lastly, call the func
on aPerson
:
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()
I hope that helps,
Steve.
