Can't finish this code challenge

Challenge Task 1 of 1

Let's get in some practice creating a class. Declare a class named Shape with a variable property named numberOfSides of type Int.

Remember that with classes you are required to write an initializer method.

Once you have a class definition, create an instance and assign it to a constant named someShape.

Getting "Bummer! Your code could not be compiled." but there are no compiler errors. Is there something wrong with my code?

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

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

  let someShape = Shape(sides: 4)
}

You're so close!!! Just move the let someShape = Shape(sides: 4), outside of the class, and it should work!!!!

// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int

init(sides numberOfSides: Init) {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}

let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 3)
