I know this code is not what the task is asking for but I forgot/don't know how to create a value for the description property that is a string representation of the color object? I just don't understand what it wants me to do. Any help would be great thanks!
// Your task is to write a custom initializer method for the object. Using the initializer assign values to the first four properties. Using the values assigned to those properties create a value for the description property that is a string representation of the color object.
struct RGBColor { let red: Double let green: Double let blue: Double let alpha: Double
let description: String
// Add your code below
init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double, description: String) {
self.red = red
self.green = green
self.blue = blue
self.alpha = alpha
self.description = description
}
func printColorValues() -> String {
let description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
return description
}
} let aColorList = RGBColor(red: 86.0, green: 191.0, blue: 131.0, alpha: 1.0, description: "Blah") let asdfjskd = aColorList.printColorValues()
struct RGBColor {
let red: Double
let green: Double
let blue: Double
let alpha: Double
let description: String
// Add your code below
init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double, description: String) {
self.red = red
self.green = green
self.blue = blue
self.alpha = alpha
self.description = description
}
func printColorValues() -> String {
let description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
return description
}
}
let aColorList = RGBColor(red: 86.0, green: 191.0, blue: 131.0, alpha: 1.0, description: "Blah")
let asdfjskd = aColorList.printColorValues()

struct RGBColor {
let red: Double
let green: Double
let blue: Double
let alpha: Double
let description: String
// Add your code below
init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double){
self.red = red
self.green = green
self.blue = blue
self.alpha = alpha
self.description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
}
}

2,212 PointsSweet, Thanks so much. Definitely over complicated that one.
