I can't understand how to do this and I am losing my mind

Can somebody help me with this?

structs.swift 
struct Person { 
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func getFullName() -> String {
        return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
    }
}

let aPerson = Person.init(firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith")
let fullName = aPerson.getFullName()

Hi John,

you are not far from the solution. However, you need to name the function and the constants exactly(!) like in the description of the challenge stated. Also, make sure to remove the ".init" in the Person instance. It should be:

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith")

Good luck
