3,125 PointsHow Do I Combine Words In String?
For example, I want to change "Hello World" to "HelloWorld". How do I do that?
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
struct Post {
var title: String
var author: String
var tag: Tag
func description () -> String {
return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
}
}
let postTag = Tag(name: "swift")
let firstPost = Post (title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: postTag)
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

Looking at your code, the only problem is that you have an extra space in this line:
func description () -> String {
//remove this ^space
and this line:
let firstPost = Post (title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: postTag)
// remove the space ^here
Spacing is important in Swift!
Happy coding,
-Greg

If you just want to remove all spaces from a string, you can use the string function stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(), which takes two arguments: the string you want to modify, and the replacement string. For your use case, you'd want a space to be replaced with an empty string:
let greeting = "Hello World"
let noSpaceGreeting = greeting.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(" ", withString: "")
print(noSpaceGreeting) // "HelloWorld"
