I need help with the init method

I also don't get what they're asking me to show in the instance.

objects.swift 
struct Location {
  let latitude: Double
  let longitude: Double
}
class Buisness {
  let name: String
  let location: Location
  init(latitude: Double, longitude: Double) {
    self.location = Location(latitude: Double, longitude: Double)
  }
}
let someBuisness =

Hi, you should remember to include both constants in the init, meaning both name and location. Second, location should be initialised as Location not latitude and longitude.

your init should look like this:

...
init(name: String, location: Location){
   self.name = name
   self.location = location
}

now you 'just' have to call ```Business``` correctly ;-)

thanks for the help but I'm still having trouble with the instance for someBuisness. Here's my code... struct Location { let latitude: Double let longitude: Double } class Buisness { let name: String let location: Location init(name: String, location: location) { self.location = location self.name = name } } let someBuisness = Buisness(name: "duke", location: 2.3, 2.5)

thanks

I did contemplate giving you that part of the answer too, but decided against to let let you have a chance to figure it out yourself. What you need to remember, when creating your instance of Business, is that location is of type Location. Thereby needing you to actually create an instance on Location inside your instance of Business. It sound more cryptic than it is :)

You code should look like this:

...
let someBusiness = Business(name: "duke", location: Location(latitude: 2.3, longitude: 2.5))
