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!
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int = 6
init(numberOfSides: Int) {
self.numberOfSides = 6
}
let someShape = Shape
}

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