2,108 Pointsi'm struggling in creating a sub class
class Vehicle { var numberOfDoors: Int var numberOfWheels: Int
init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
self.numberOfDoors = doors
self.numberOfWheels = wheels
}
}
i dont know how the overide init and the super.init work and what is meant to go into them
class Vehicle {
var numberOfDoors: Int
var numberOfWheels: Int
init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
self.numberOfDoors = doors
self.numberOfWheels = wheels
}
}

In this code challenge, you don't need to override the init method. Just create the subclass and add the property that the exercise asks for.
class Car: Vehicle {
var numberOfSeats: Int = 4
}
let someCar = Car(withDoors: 4, andWheels: 4)
The propose of the init is to initialize the class with values passed to the class as arguments. And the super.init is to initialize the Super Class. The one that the subclass is inheriting.

2,108 Pointswhen adding a new property to the sub class, how do you initialise that?
