Make sure your function does not take any parameters and returns a String

what is wrong in my code?

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

    func fullName() -> (String){

      return (firstName + " " + lastName)
    }


}

:point_right: Try removing the parentheses () around the (String) part (after the -> arrow part).

It seems to be confusing Swift to think that that's somehow the parameter name.

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

    func fullName() -> String {
      return (firstName + " " + lastName)
    }

}

Good luck!
