In this challenge task, I'm a little confused about the question, I'm not sure I really understand this... My code is as follows:
class WifiLamp: ColorSwitchable { let state: LightState var color: Color func switchColor(color: Color) -> () { color = color }
In fact, I have no idea what I should do... Can anyone plz tell me? Thanks a lot!!
// Declare protocol here
protocol ColorSwitchable {
func switchColor(color: Color) -> ()
}
enum LightState {
case On, Off
}
enum Color {
case RGB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
case HSB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
}
class WifiLamp: ColorSwitchable {
let state: LightState
var color: Color
func switchColor(color: Color) -> () {
.color = color
}
init() {
self.state = .On
self.color = .RGB(0,0,0,0)
}
}

func switchColor(color: Color) -> () {
.color = color // .color is a syntax error
}
This would not do either, as your function parameter name is the same as your instance variable name color.
func switchColor(color: Color) -> () {
color = color // parameter name == variable name
}
In order to let Swift know that you want to set the member variable color of your class, you have to explicitly refer to it with self, so it's not ambiguous, as, again, your method parameter has the name as your instance variable.
Setting the variable color of in instance of your class WifiLamp would be:
func switchColor(color: Color) -> () {
self.color = color // set color var
}
Hope that helps :)
