How can I override stored property in the subclass?

    var someVariable = 10
}

}

Hi Eugene,

what is it you're trying to achieve exactly?

if you want to create an instance of an object so you can enter a value you could try this:

class Superclass { var someVariable: Int

init(someVariable: Int) {
    self.someVariable = someVariable
}

} let aVariable = Superclass.init(someVariable: 91) aVariable.someVariable

class Superclass { var someVariable = 10

init(someVariable: Int) {
    self.someVariable = someVariable
}

}

class Subclass: Superclass {

override init(someVariable: Int) {
    super.init(someVariable: 12)
}

}
