    init(firstName: String,lastName: String, birthDate: Date)
}

The Person protocol requires conforming types to have four properties: firstName, lastName, and birthDate (all of which must be both readable and writable ({ get set })), and profession, which is read-only ({ get }). Additionally, the protocol requires types that conform to this protocol...
