    Text(myInstance.theName)
      .padding()

Code Block import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
  var myInstance = MyClass()
//  print(myInstance.theName)
  var body: some View {
    Text(myInstance.theName)
      .padding()
  }
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
  static var previews: some View {
    ContentView()
  }
}
class MyClass {
  var theName: String = "myName"
}

You cannot put a statement, should it be a print, in the declaration part.
The error I get is
Expected 'func' keyword in instance method declaration

Even a line 5 as

Code Block print("Nothing")

would fail
