Why does this work in X code but not on the challenge?

Is there something minor I am missing?

objects.swift
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: "Ryan", lastName: "Clark")
someDoctor.fullName()

It's because the challenge is very picky and case-sensitive.

Change "DR." to "Dr." in the return statement and it will pass.

Thank you for that, can't believe something so little stops the challenge passing.
