I am having a hard time understanding where I should put the assignment of someShape to the Class

I am struggling with understanding how to get the value of the instance into someShape.

classes.swift
// Enter your code below

class Shape {

var numberOfSides: Int

init(numberOfSides: Int) {

self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}

}

Well you don't put an assignment of someShape in the class. Outside the class you create an instance of Shape and assign it to a variable and send it the number of sides. Take a look:

let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 6)

Here we create a variable named someShape and create a shape with 6 sides. Ideally, it'd be called myHexagon! But the challenge requires you to use the name someShape.
