825 Pointsinitializing method in a structure
I was trying to create a init () method for a structure and I received a warning: "don't use the memberwise initializer that swift creates"
what is this warning means?
struct RGBColor {
let red: Double
let green: Double
let blue: Double
let alpha: Double
let description: String
init (r : Double, g : Double, b : Double, a : Double)
{
self.red = r
self.green = g
self.blue = b
self.alpha = a
//self.description = "red:\(self.red), green\(self.green),blue\(self.blue), alpha\(self.alpha)"
}
// Add your code below
}

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsYou were almost there! Take out the self in front of the colors. Here's my code:
init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double){
self.red = red
self.green = green
self.blue = blue
self.alpha = alpha
self.description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
}
