Given the struct below in the editor, we want to add a method that returns the person’s full name. Declare a method named fullName() that returns a string containing the person’s full name. Note: Make sure to allow for a space between the first and last name Bummer! Make sure your function does not take any parameters and returns a String.
I searched on google how to solve this and the entire first page of google results showed the same way that i approached and yet it still won't approve my answer. I'm so sick of the time I'm wasting on this. I understand treehouse doesn't want to just "give away" the answers but i've spent hours not only trying this every way i know how but even when i research the answer and copy and paste the code from people with the exact same code challenge where they "claim" to have solved it it still gives me an error. treehouse please for the love of whatever you put your hopes into, please just provide the answer so i can see what i did wrong and hey guess what if it turns out the "correct" answer is the same as the one i wrote then i would be less mad because then i would know its just some stupid systematic compiler error and not actually my code.
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
func fullName() -> String{
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}

I've tried a number of different ways I know should pass, but none of them worked, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume there's a bug in this checker. I've reported it to staff so they can take a closer look

i apologize for the profanity i'll refrain from that moving forward. additionally, this is what the preview said was the result of the error. it does not make sense as i just upgraded to the latest edition of High sierra.

47,913 PointsIt doesn't matter what version of macOS you're using, because when you type code into a Treehouse challenge, it runs on their server, and not your computer. Based on that error message, it sounds like they've updated their version of Xcode and either didn't update their operating system along with it and/or didn't link it properly in their filesystem for their copy of the swift binary to know where to look for it. Either way, it sounds to me like it's going to take a server-side fix on their part before anyone will pass this challenge

3,866 Pointsso i fear this may be happening on all swift related code challenges, quizzes etc.

47,913 PointsThat's a good move. It seems to me like a server upgrade failed. I wouldn't be surprised if all Swift challenges were broken at the moment. Staff will see both of our messages in the morning, and I'm guessing this'll be a high-priority fix

Just wanted to let you all know that we're investigating this. In the meantime, I would recommend skipping ahead of this challenge. We'll drop an update in here once we have it straightened out.

1,964 PointsRob,
Thank you! This probably effects all quizes so we won’t be able to proceed until this issue is resolved.

8,600 PointsUpdate: This should be resolved. Let us know if you're still experiencing any issues!

3,866 Pointsswift_lint.swift:11:12: error: unexpected non-void return value in void function return "(firstName) (lastName)" ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ now this is the error thats coming up! but my code is the same as it was before
Michael Hulet
47,913 PointsThe code in your original posts passes for me with a copy/paste. That error suggests you've removed the -> String part of your function's declaration or changed it to Void. Also, the code you submitted to produce that error is without the backslashes (\) to begin both of the string interpolation escape sequences (\()). It's hard to tell for sure without seeing a copy/paste of your code now, but those 2 problems will need to be fixed for your code to pass
