iOS Object-Oriented Swift Classes and Objects Classes and Their Methods

Classes and their methods

Hello, i'm stuck on this challenge. Can someone help me ?

This is what i have to do: We need to provide a means to increase the size of our Button. So we are going to add a method named incrementBy which will accept a parameter named points. (Within the method add points to the width and height properties).

My error is that my code could not be compiled. But when i preview my code it sais nothing

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

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

  }
}

Hey Mathis, in order to increment the button's width and height by the value passed in the points parameter you would add these two lines:

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

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot, it worked!

why not include return so ....return.width += points and so forth for height?
