In the editor you've been provided with a struct named Location that models a coordinate point using longitude and latitude values.

For this task we want to create a class named Business. The class contains two constant stored properties: name of type String and location of type Location.

In the initializer method pass in a name and an instance of Location to set up the instance of Business. Using this initializer, create an instance and assign it to a constant named someBusiness.

struct Location {
    let latitude: Double
    let longitude: Double
}

class Business {
  let name: String
  let location: Location

  init(name: String, location: Location) {
    self.name = name
    self.location = location
  }
}

let someBusiness = Business(name: "someone", location: (latitude:100.1, longitude:100.5))

how to pass data to type Location?? help me

Hi Calvin,

You're so close! The problem is that you're trying to call Location's init method without using the struct name. All you need to do is add it:

struct Location {
    let latitude: Double
    let longitude: Double
}

class Business {
  let name: String
  let location: Location

  init(name: String, location: Location) {
    self.name = name
    self.location = location
  }
}

let someBusiness = Business(name: "someone", location: Location(latitude:100.1, longitude:100.5))

Sooo close!

let someBusiness = Business(name: "andi", location: Location(latitude: 100.5, longitude: 100.5) )

You need to create a Location object to pass to the Business class, not just pass latitude and longitude.
