It tells me everything I need to know but one thing is untold, what do I put in the Intializer?

Why this so hard to me?

objects.swift 
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
init() {

    }
}

Hey AJ,

You'll need to create an instance of the variable that you created in the 'Shape' class. Below is the answer.

Hope this helps.

Have a great Christmas and happy coding.

class Shape {
    var numberOfSides: Int

    init(numberOfSides: Int) {
        self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
    }
}

let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 4)
