    var x: Int
    var y: Int

    init(x: Int, y: Int) {
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
    }
}

enum Direction {
    case left
    case right
    case up
    case down
}

class Robot {
    var location: Point

    init() {
        self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
    }

  func move(direction: Direction) {
        // Enter your code below
        switch direction {
        case .up:
            return location.y += 1
        case .down:
            return location.y -= 1
        case .right:
            return location.x += 1
        default:
            return location.x -= 1
        }
}

You are close but there are a couple of problems with your code.

1) Leave the external name (underscore) in the move function. It is included in the starter code, but it's removed from your solution. You may have done this without noticing.

2) Remove the return statements in the switch statement. Your function is not set to return anything.

3) Change the stored property being changed by the switch statement to "self"

Here's the code for the Robot Class:

class Robot {
    var location: Point

    init() {
        self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
    }

    func move(_ direction: Direction) {
        // Enter your code below
        switch direction {
        case .up: self.location.y += 1
        case .down: self.location.y -= 1
        case .right: self.location.x += 1
        case .left: self.location.x -= 1
        }
    }
}
