Learning to code...

Not really understanding why this code isn't working, I used the video lectures' post as a template but I know this is really bad lol. Any advice on why it isn't would be much appreciated!

classes.swift 
// Enter your code below

class Shape {
  var numberOfSides: Int = 6

  init(numberOfSides: Int) {
  self.numberOfSides = 6
  }
    let someShape = Shape


}

class Shape {
  var numberOfSides: Int

  init(numberOfSides: Int) {
  self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
    }
}

    let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 6)

Don't initialize someShape within the Shape class. Check to make sure you have parenthesis in the right spot.
