1,822 PointsI've written out an override method that looks to be good, and behaves itself in XCode. Getting a syntax error here.
Am I missing something obvious?
class Button {
var width: Double
var height: Double
init(width:Double, height:Double){
self.width = width
self.height = height
}
func incrementBy(points: Double){
width += points
height += points
}
}
class RoundButton: Button {
var cornerRadius: Double = 5.0
override func incrementBy(points: Double = 7.0) {
}
}

Treehouse TeacherWell it may not be obvious but remember that you're overriding something. It's going to send in some points and no matter what it sends in... we're going to override that with 7.0. So this is what the challenge is looking for.
class RoundButton: Button {
var cornerRadius: Double = 5.0
override func incrementBy(points: Double) {
width += 7.0
height += 7.0
}
}

1,822 PointsThanks. That's odd because it does state "default to 7.0" rather than "always override to 7.0". Maybe I'm misreading it.
