object oriented swift

Given the struct below in the editor, we want to add a method that returns the person’s full name. Declare a method named fullName() that returns a string containing the person’s full name. Note: Make sure to allow for a space between the first and last name

structs.swift 
struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
  ///personFirstName fname: String = firstName, personLastName lname: String = lastName
  func fullName() -> String {


      let FullName = Person(firstName: "Hyndavi", lastName: "uppala")


    var results =  firstName + " " + lastName

    return results
}
    let FullName = Person(firstName: "Hyndavi", lastName: "uppala")



  FullName.fullName()

Some hints:

  • Only do what the challenge asks. For task 1 delete the lines outside the Person struct
  • You are missing a closing bracket
  • let FullName = Person(firstName: "Hyndavi", lastName: "uppala") doesn't make sense inside your fullName method and should also be removed

what about this ...

struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String

func fullName() -> String { var results = firstName + " " + lastName

return results

} let FullName = Person(firstName: "Hyndavi", lastName: "uppala")

FullName.fullName()

}

struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String

func fullName() -> String {
    var results =  firstName + " " + lastName

    return results
}

}

let FullName = Person(firstName: "Regina", lastName: "Phalange") FullName.fullName()

You are getting close. Your code meets the requirements for task 1.

struct Person {
         let firstName: String
         let lastName: String

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

With your remaining code substitute aPerson for FullName and then assign aPerson.fullName() to myFullName and you're done
