Create an instance of the class RoundButton and name the instance rounded. How do i do?
class Button {
var width: Double
var height: Double
init(width:Double, height:Double){
self.width = width
self.height = height
}
class RoundButton: Button{
var cornerRadius = 5.00
}
}
var rounded = RoundButton(cornerRadius: 5.00)

var width: Double
var height: Double
init(width:Double, height:Double){
self.width = width
self.height = height
}
}
class RoundButton: Button{
var cornerRadius = 5.0
}
var rounded = RoundButton(width: 5.0, height: 5.0)
This is the code I used to complete the challenge. It's probably just a simple syntax error. Check your curly braces. I believe you need to move one of the curly braces at the end of your code to before the class RoundButton.

15,743 PointsFor this challenge RoundButton is a subclass of the superclass Button so it inherits the properties(width and height) from Button. You need to provide these properties values when you create an instance of RoundButton. So your instance of RoundButton should look like this:
var rounded = RoundButton(width:10, height:10).
You can chose whatever value for width and height you want I just put in 10.
Hope this helps, Mindy

Mindy Sandilands
15,743 PointsYou need to call the instance outside of the class RoundButton. Move the code outside of the subclass RoundButton by placing it after the curly braces.
class RoundButton: Button{ var cornerRadius = 5.0}
var rounded = RoundButton(width: 5.0, height: 5.0)

var rounded = RoundButton(width: 5.0, height: 5.0)
