I don't understand the question

What is the method supposed to do, and what should my code look like?

Jhoan, the question is referring to one of the exercises in the Object-oriented Swift course, there's a link to the exercise on the right of this page, under Related Content heading. The Treehouse UI doesn't make this very clear.

I don't want to just put the answer here, you learn faster if you can figure it out yourself. But start with something like the following function:

func incrementBy(points: Double) {
    // increment width and height here
}

So, we're passing in a points parameter of type Double and adding that to the width and height stored properties. How do you think we can add points to width and height in the function? Here's a clue:

self.width = self.width + ????

...what should ???? be? Also do the same for height.

Thanks a lot! The 2nd part of the question was a bit confusing, but your answer clarified it :)
