Courses Plus Student 892 PointsHow to I fix my initializer method?
The Preview is saying to not assign a variable to itself. How do I write this code?
// Enter your code below
class Shape{
let numberOfSides: Int
init(){
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape()

class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
init(numberOfSides: Int) {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 4)
the self.numberOfSides connects to your variable outside the init method. then you set that equal to numberOfSides which is connected to your init (parameter). then when you create an instance, use your initialized parameter for shape

Courses Plus Student 14,604 Pointsif you have access to Xcode it will help you to solve the problem from the IDE and then copy and past it into the site. because even in real world you will be corrected. While its still good practice not to get the aid of Xcode learning wise, if your in a run writing it there will keep you on track. hope that helps at all.
