First you create a class named Business, with two stored properties: name and location. name should be a String, and location a Location. Then, because this is a class, you have to provide the initializer (unlike structs - which have a default one). In the initializer you need to accept a name and a location, and assign those values to the stored properties.

class Business {
  let name: String;
  let location: Location;

  init(name: String, location: Location) {
    self.name = name
    self.location = location
  }

}

let someBusiness = Business(name: "abdirahman", location: Location(latitude: 23.45, longitude: 112.16))

Finally, you need to create a constant named someBusiness and make it a Business object complete with a name and a location.

You can get the properties of the object like this:

someBusiness.name  //displays abdirahman
someBusiness.location.latitude //displays 23.45
someBusiness.location.longitude //displays 112.16
