1) Structs do not need initializers. 2) You can remove the Tag.getName() function and just reference tag.name instead. 3) A few unnecessary variables that could be trimmed, but that is more personal preference.
My implementation looks like this.
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: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
