challenge task 3 of 3 for what is inheritance

It keeps telling me that I am failing this because "RoundButton" is not working. How do I get it to pass?

Button.swift
class Button {
  var width: Double
  var height: Double

  init(width:Double, height:Double){
    self.width = width
    self.height = height
  }
  class RoundButton: Button {
  var cornerRadius = 5.0
  }
}

var rounded = RoundButton(width: 10.0, height: 20.0)

Hi Jeffrey,

You are very close. Just move the RoundButton class outside of the Button class.
If you try your code in the playground, you will instantly be alerted to the mistake.

I find that trying out code challenges in the Playground is the fastest way to learn.

class Button {
    var width: Double
    var height: Double

    init(width:Double, height:Double){
        self.width = width
        self.height = height
    }

}


class RoundButton: Button { // move outside of Button class
    var cornerRadius = 5.0
}

var rounded = RoundButton(width: 10.0, height: 20.0)

I hope that helps,

Mike
