867 PointsI don't know how to do this challenge
func fullName(first: String, last: String) -> String { let fullName = "(first) (last)" return fullName }
That and similar versions don't work and I don't know why The Playground shows that everything's OK
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
}
func fullName() {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}

8,027 PointsHello, as Erik Perez said here is the proper code to complete the step 1.
func fullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
but don't forget to specify the return type of this func. (type String)

13,515 PointsAs Theo correctly noted, the issue with your code passing the first step is that the fullName function doesn't specify the return type, which should be String. The second step of the challenge asks you to assign an instance of the Person struct to a constant named aPerson, then use that instance to assign an actual String value of firstName and lastName combined (using the values passed into the aPerson instance) to a constant named myFullName. Below is the complete solution for steps 1 and 2.
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith")
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()
