What is the proper syntax for accessing a struct variable?

Question

What is the proper syntax for access a member struct variable? I'm currently trying like this:

struct one {
    var name:String = "Ric"
    var address:String = "Lee"
}

one.name

But the last line produces the error:

'one.Type' does not have a member named 'name'

How can I access the variable on my struct?

Answer 1

It looks like you defined a struct, but didn't create an instance of it. If you create an instance, you can access its name and address properties.

struct one {
    var name: String = "Ric"
    var address: String = "Lee"
}
var x = one()
x.name

It may be confusing because you can set default values in the definition, which may make it look like you are instantiating something.
