Classes/ Init Values

Hey, I don't really understand what an init value is/I don't know what I am doing wrong in this challenge.

objects.swift 
// Enter your code below\

class Shape {
  var numberOfSides: Int
  init(numberOfSides: Int) {
    self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
  }
}

let someShape = class(numberOfSides: 5)

Your code works very well, but you did a small mistake in the last line. 

// Enter your code below

class Shape {
  var numberOfSides: Int
  init(numberOfSides: Int) {
    self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
  }
}

let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 5) // <-HERE
