I don't see any syntax errors. Maybe there's a logic error? I don't know why I can't complete this exercise. This exact same code is working fine in Xcode.
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
let title: String
let author: String
let tag: Tag
func description() {
print("\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)")
}
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "Test", author: "Will", tag: Tag(name: "Tag"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

In your description
string for tag
, you want to interpolate \(tag.name)
not just \(tag)
.

57,712 PointsSorry - also missed the fact that your
description
function didn't return a String and you printed the output, rather than returning it.Amend your
description
method to:That returns a string in its signature and then returns a string in its body as required by the challenge.
Steve.
