Hello,
Please could you explain me in details how to finish this challenge?
My class seems good, but i don't know how to make the init method in it.
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int = 0
init() {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape

class Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.firstName = firstName // I am getting this firstName from the argument above
self.lastName = lastName // Same thing here.
}
}
I made an example with a different class just to stimulate your brain, but if you still stuck please let me know.

Here is the full answer if someone needs help aswell.
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides : Int
init(numberOfSides: Int) { //as you mentioned I forgot to declare NumberOfSides as an argument in the init method
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 4)
