Is my struct and constant correct?

Where do the constants aPerson and myFullName go?

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

    func fullName() -> String {

    return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"

    }


}

struct Person {

     let aPerson = String

        let myFullName = "\(firstName) \(lastName)"

        print(aPerson(myFullName))





}

Your first struct is correct. However, the second struct isn't. As a matter of fact, it's not needed at all.

What the challenge is asking for is for you to assign the instance of Person to the constant that's named aPerson. It would look similar to this:

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

After that, it's asking you to call out the function that you just made (fullName()) and assign it to the constant called myFullName:

let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()

For reference, here's the full code:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

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

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe")
let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()

Hope this helps.

this is the full code?:

struct Person { let firstName: String let lastName: String

func fullName() -> String {

    return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"

}

let aPerson = Person(firstName: "Nick", lastName: "Young")

let myFullName = aPerson.fullName()

}
