How to initialize the struct and reference a struct within a struct?

I'm working on part 1 of the challenge tasks and I can't figure out how to initialize the struct Post. I've tried assigning values to the values in Post, but I'm also confused about initializing the struct Tag. Do I initialize that before Post?

The code below is what I came up with. You need to initialize the Struct by passing in the values to each stored property.

struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post {
  var title: String
  var author: String
  var tag: Tag
}

let firstPost = Post(title: "Title", author: "Me", tag: Tag(name: "A Name"))
