when he creates a function(method) in struct, why return "[Point]" instead of "[String]" ?

Point is not a string so how can Xcode see it as a String??

Hey Allan, because an object is a lot more powerful than a string. You can always use strings or have things displayed as strings but manipulating them and extracting different types of values from there is very hard.
