71,830 PointsYou are on target, except that the tag stored property's type is Tag, not String. There are several ways to pass in a Tag object rather than a String, and to get the tag.name, which is a String, to appear in the function's return. Here's one way:
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
func description() -> String {
return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
}
}
let tag = Tag(name: "swift")
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: tag)
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
Since self is optional where you have it I left it out. What is usually not optional is that if the challenge asks for specific text, like Filed under swift, you probably should not ignore it. In fact, I've found it rather picky about things like that.
