Treehouse TeacherHi there! I'm unsure if you're working on the first step or the second step. If you're working on the second, then something drastic has changed in your code. The first step requires you to create a method on the struct named fullName. This method will return a string that contains the first name of the person, the last name of the person, and a space in between. Your code as it now contains no functions whatsoever.
It's not until the second step where you are asked to create an instance of the struct and this is to be assigned to the constant aPerson not fullName.
I think you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck!

2,413 PointsHi Jennifer, sorry because I don't understand the question (I feel really stupid), but the code is doesn't work...
Can you help me for the last time ??
This is the code:
struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String func fullName(aPerson: String) -> String { let aPerson = "(firstName) (lastName)" return aPerson } } let myFullName = Person(firstName: "Sebastian", lastName: "Fernandez")

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Sebastian! Something is happening to your code between step1 and step2 because the code you have would not pass step 1 and that was true when I left my first answer. I'll show you my solution and walk you through it:
struct Person { //declare a struct named Person
let firstName: String // Person has a firstName
let lastName: String // Person has a lastName
func fullName() -> String { // function to return the person's full name
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)" //return a string with the first ans last name interpolated
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Sebastian", lastName: "Fernandez") //create a person and assign it to the constant aPerson
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName() // get the person's full name and assign it to myFullName
I feel like there is some misinterpretation of the instructions going on. They clearly say to make a person and to assign it to a constant aPerson. Then they say to get that person's full name and assign it to a constant myFullName.
Hope this helps!

Treehouse TeacherHi again! So you've gotten a function now, but it should return a string. You're trying to return a
Person. Also, we want the string returned to be a combination of the firstName and the lastName no matter what two names a person has. You are attempting to hard-code yours. You say that you are stuck on Step2 but your code does not pass Step 1.Step 2 will simply require one additional line of code outside of the solution to Step 1.
