im so lost what am i Doing wrong

I see that the structure defines constants and values and the description outputs a string from that but where do the numbers get inputed and how does it return the statement?

structs.swift
struct RGBColor {
  let red: Double
  let green: Double
  let blue: Double
  let alpha: Double

  let description: String

  // Add your code below
  init (red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double) {
  self.red = red
  self.green = green
  self.blue = blue
  self.alpha = alpha
  self.description = ("red: \(86.0), green: \(191.0), blue: \(131.0), alpha:\(1.0)")

  }

}

Very close! The values the challenge gives are not meant to be directly implemented into your init method. The idea is to make your code dynamic, which you can do by passing replacing 86.0 with red, and 191.0 with green, and so on. Where these values are referring to the argument values passed in when init method is called.

The fields get inputted where you create the RGBColor object.
