I can't seem to figure out how to pass this code challenge. Please help.
TIA
class Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}
func fullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
// Enter your code below
class Doctor: Person {
override func fullName() -> String {
return "Dr. (lastName)"
}
}
let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")
print(someDoctor.fullName())

8,386 PointsHi Gabriel,
You are super close, but one little typo is preventing your code from passing: You left off the leading backslash in the return statement for the fullName method in the Doctor class (so your string won't interpolate correctly).
class Doctor: Person {
override func fullName() -> String {
return "Dr. \(lastName)" // <== MAKE SURE YOU FIX THIS LINE
}
}
