Im a bit stuck in this challenge. Help please!!
This is the question: I've provided a base class Person in the editor below. Once an instance of Person is created, you can call fullName() and get a person's full name.
Your job is to create a class named Doctor that overrides the fullName() method. Once you have a class definition, create an instance and assign it to a constant named someDoctor.
For example, given the first name "Sam", and last name "Smith", calling fullName() on an instance of Person would return "Sam Smith", but calling the same method on an instance of Doctor would return "Dr. Smith".
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 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")
let fullName = someDoctor.getFullName()

Make sure that you call fullName()
instead of getFullName()
like so
class Doctor: Person {
override func fullName() -> String {
return "Dr. \(lastName)"
}
}
let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")
someDoctor.fullName()
