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).
What do they mean by add points to width and height properties?
Here's what i have so far, i don't know where to go from there...
class Button {
var width: Double
var height: Double
init(width:Double, height:Double)
{
self.width = width
self.height = height
}
func incremenetBy(points : Double) -> Double
{
}

This challenge is slightly confusing in regards to it's terminology but it's simply asking for you to add the value of points to the height and width properties for the Button class which we can do two ways, before however I want to mention you also spelled increment wrong, you have an extra e in there that can be dropped.
First way
func incrementBy(points: Double) {
self.height += points
self.width += points
}
Second way
func incrementBy(points: Double) {
self.height = self.height + points
self.width = self.width + points
}
Hope that helps.
