1,797 PointsDoes the method return anything? What is the amount of points? The instructions were a little scarce on this one. Help
Am I supposed to add a return value? Or not? Also, how many points do I increment by. Or does the user decide the amount of "points" to increment by?. Please help, the instructions left out a little bit of detail in my opinion.. Thank you !
class Button {
var width: Double
var height: Double
init(width:Double, height:Double){
self.width = width
self.height = height
}
func incrementBy(points : Int){
}
}

14,575 PointsHello Collin:
Challenge:
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).
lets break it down..
So we are going to add a method named incrementBy which will accept a parameter named points
func incrementBy(points: Double){}
Within the method add points to the wide and height properties
func incrementBy(points: Double){
width += points // these are the properties
height += points
}
// We are using the local parameter name (points) to implement the method
This is how the challenge will look
class Button {
var width: Double
var height: Double
init(width:Double, height:Double){
self.width = width
self.height = height
}
func incrementBy(points: Double){
width += points
height += points
}
}
Hope this helps you understand a bit better, please let me know if you have any questions
Good luck
