classes with custom types

Help. help. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my code. It keeps saying it can't be compiled. The only error I get in Xcode is "expected a separator"

objects.swift 
struct Location {
    let latitude: Double
    let longitude: Double
}

class Business {
    let name: String
    let location: Location

    init(name: String, location: Location){
        self.name = name
        self.location = location
    }
}
let someBusiness = Business(name: "Ross Island", Location(latitude: 12.1, longitude: 12.1)

There are two issues:

  1. You are missing a closing parenthesis for your Location constructor in the someBusiness constant. That is the cause of the "expected a separator" error.

  2. You are missing the location parameter label.

If you add them like this:

let someBusiness = Business(name: "Ross Island", location: Location(latitude: 12.1, longitude: 12.1))

Then your code will work.
