Extremely confused...

Second post regarding this one problem, first one: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/this-cant-be-right-is-it

This time I've tried again, and it still won't compile. I've changed several things over and over again and tweaked it over and over again. I tried Point instead of Direction for the instance, but its till didn't work. I hate being so confused over this.

classes.swift 
class Point {
    var x: Int
    var y: Int

    init(x: Int, y: Int){
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
    }
}

enum Direction {
    case Left
    case Right
    case Up
    case Down
}


class Robot {
    var location: Point

    init() {
        self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
    }

    func move(direction: Direction) {
        // Enter your code below
        switch Direction() {
        case Direction.Down: location.y -= 1
        case Direction.Up: location.y += 1
        case Direction.Left: location.x -= 1
        case Direction.Right: location.x += 1
        }
    }

}

Hey Ryan,

You're really, really close. The problem is what you are switching on. You need to switch on the variable, so lower-case and no parenthesis.

func move(direction: Direction) {
        // Enter your code below
        switch direction {
        case Direction.Down: location.y -= 1
        case Direction.Up: location.y += 1
        case Direction.Left: location.x -= 1
        case Direction.Right: location.x += 1
        }
    }

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
