Custom initializer challenge

I can't figure out what's wrong with my code

init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double, description: String) {
    self.red = red
    self.green = green
    self.blue = blue
    self.alpha = alpha

    self.description = "red: \(self.red), green: \(self.green), blue: \(self.blue), alpha: \(self.alpha)"
}

Can someone help me?

Thanks

structs.swift
struct RGBColor {
    let red: Double
    let green: Double
    let blue: Double
    let alpha: Double

    let description: String

    // Add your code below
    init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double, description: String) {
        self.red = red
        self.green = green
        self.blue = blue
        self.alpha = alpha

        self.description = "red: \(self.red), green: \(self.green), blue: \(self.blue), alpha: \(self.alpha)"
    }

}

You do not need to pass in a value for description. It will be set using the passed in values for red, green, blue, and alpha. So remove it from the init method.

init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double)

Hope this helps.

NONE of these answers work in the Treehouse interpreter. I spent so much time trying to get it working, and it just doesn't
