Can you init a struct from another struct's init?

I'm getting a large array of person information which contains address information. I want o generate a struct of person, with an optional array of addresses (also a struct). For some reason I cannot get it to do it.

Here is a sample of the code I have.

The problem was my struct was not instantiated when I attempted to append the new item to the array.

The fix was

self.addresses = []
        for address in json["address"] as! [[String:String]] {
            let newAddress = Address(dictionary: address)
            newAddress
            self.addresses?.append(newAddress)
        }
