I think I am missing something with the two instances?
struct Tag {
let name: String
}
let ty = Tag(name: "L")
struct Post {
var title: String
var author: String
var tag: Tag
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "T", author: "G", tag:"J")

let firstPost = Post(title: "T", author: "G", tag:Tag(name:"J"))
or
let firstPost = Post(title: "T", author: "G", tag:ty)
last parameter tag should in your Post object should receive a Tag struct object, so either you use the object ty you have created earlier or create a a Tag object as shown above

In order for this to work you must create an object of type tag either outside of the property declaration of the object or within it, like this:
let obj = Tag(name: "L")
let firstPost = Post(title: "T", author: "G", tag:obj)
//or you can do this:
let firstPost = Post(title:"T", author:"G", tag:Tag(name:"L"))
By doing this you're creating an object that has a property of type Tag and not just a property of type String. Hope this helps!
