How to create instances of classes

I can't find out how to create instances of classes.

objects.swift 
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
  var numberOfSides: Int
  init(numberOfSides) {
    self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
  }
}

someShape(numberOfSides: 1)

I don't think that will work...

You need

someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 1)

Notice the colon rather than equals sign
