Structs

Not sure what I am doing right. Thanks.

    let firstPost = ("title", "author", "tag")
 }

As always, I recommend you use the Playground in Xcode to solve code challenges so you can see what happens and solve problems much easier on your own.

Also, the trick is to always break things down. The first part of the challenge asks you to create a new struct.

//: Playground - noun: a place where people can play

struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post { // create new struct
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag
}

next, use the new struct to create your first post like this

//: Playground - noun: a place where people can play

struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

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

let firstPost = Post(title: "Test title", author: "author name", tag: Tag(name: "firstTag")) // be sure to also initialize the tag

I hope that helps,

Mike

PS: Thanks to the awesome resources on Team Treehouse, I launched my first app.

Now you can practice writing Swift code directly on your iPhone :-)
