can someone tell me how i assign my instance to a constant

Question

and i was wondering if i was doing it right
```classes.swift
struct Location {
    let latitude: Double
    let longitude: Double
}
class Business {
let name: String
let location: Location
  init(name: String, location: Location) {
  self.name = "House"
  self.location = Location(latitude: 48.069, longitude: 22.174)
  }
}
let someBusiness = Business(name: "House", latitude: 48.069, longitude: 22.174)
```

Sorry.  You are mixing up initializing with creating objects (or instances):
```swift
class Business {
  let name: String
  let location: Location
  init(name: String, location: Location) {
    self.name = name
    self.location = location
  }
}
let location = Location(latitude: 48.069, longitude: 22.174)
let someBusiness = Business(name: "House", location: location)
```
The initializer takes whatever the class is called with and puts those values  into the stored properties.  You do not hard-code values into initializers.  You give them values by calling the class to make a Business object.  And when calling the class you pass the initializer values.
Here there's an extra step:  you need to create a Location object.  It  can be done all in one line but I broke it out as it may be less confusing.
