246 PointsCreating and calling instance methods in Swift 3
What is the correct syntax for creating and calling instance methods in Swift 3? My code is below...currently something is wrong but I'm not sure how to correct it.
struct Tag {
  let name: String
}
struct Post {
  let title: String
  let author: String
  let tag: Tag
  func description() {
    "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)"
  }
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
struct Tag {
  let name: String
}
struct Post {
  let title: String
  let author: String
  let tag: Tag
  func description() {
    "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)"
  }
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift"))
let postDescription = firstPost.description()

struct Tag {
    let name: String
}
struct Post {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag
    func description() -> String {
        return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
    }
}
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: Tag(name: "swift")) .  
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
