Class method challenge

Hi, I feel as though I'm missing something important here but I can't get a grasp on it. It's saying I forgot to add points to the width property.

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

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

func incrementBy(points: Double) -> Double {
return points + (width + height)
  }
}

Hi,

I think you're trying to increment width and height by the value passed into the function, points.

So, that would probably look something like:

func incrementBy (points: Double){
    self.width += points
    self.height += points
}

That increments both the width and the height in the instance of the Button method by the value passed into the function, points. There's no return from the function because you act directly on the instance varialbes by using the self. notation.

I hope that is (1) correct and, (2), understandable!

Steve.
