8,185 PointsCan't pass new property into superclass init value to create an instance with the superclass
Not sure what I'm doing wrong?
class Vehicle {
var numberOfDoors: Int
var numberOfWheels: Int
init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
self.numberOfDoors = doors
self.numberOfWheels = wheels
}
}
// Enter your code below
class Car: Vehicle {
var numberOfSeats: Int = 4
override init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
super.init(withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels, Seats: 4)
self.numberOfSeats = seats
}
}
let someCar = Car(withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels)

class Car: Vehicle {
var numberOfSeats: Int = 4
}
let someCar = Car(withDoors: 4, andWheels: 4)
