Looking for solution, Compiles in Xcode...

Bummer! Make sure you're declaring an instance method named description that returns a String

structs.swift 
struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag

    func description () -> String {

        //"iOSDevelopment by Apple. Filed under swift"
        return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"

    }

}

let firstPost = Post(title: "TheBest", author: "The Guy", tag: Tag(name: "Your"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
print(postDescription)

Hi Nicholas,

The problem is simply that you have an extra space in your method definition. It should be description() rather than description ().

Happy coding!
