    return "Hey there, " + fullName()
}

}

let someUser = User(firstName: "Pasan", middleName: nil, lastName: "Premaretne") let anotherUser: Persontype = User(firstName: "Philip", middleName: nil, lastName: "Williams")

someUser.greeting() anotherUser.greeting()

It's a small error. You just need to make middleName an Optional String in your Persontype protocol.

I hope this helps!
