Method Overriding Challenge 1 of 1

Question

Hey guys, 
This question asked to create an override of RoundButton to the base class - Button. 
I have added an override function but the output tells me that there's a problem with my original func where I cannot use += for my width and height. I've looked at the teacher's notes but I'm still lost. Pls help. 
Thanks. 
Here are my codes: 
class Button {
  var width: Double
  var height: Double
  init(width:Double, height:Double) {
    self.width = width
    self.height = height
  }
  func incrementBy(points: Double) -> Double {
    var width += points
    var height += points
    return (width, height)
  }
}
class RoundButton: Button {
  var cornerRadius: Double = 5.0
  override func incrementBy(_ points: Double = 7.0) -> Double {
    return super.incrementBy(points)
  }
}
```Button.swift
class Button {
  var width: Double
  var height: Double
  init(width:Double, height:Double) {
    self.width = width
    self.height = height
  }
  func incrementBy(points: Double) -> Double {
    var width += points
    var height += points
    return (width, height)
  }
}
class RoundButton: Button {
  var cornerRadius: Double = 5.0
  override func incrementBy(_ points: Double = 7.0) -> Double {
    return super.incrementBy(points)
  }
}
```

HI @Nick Chew (https://teamtreehouse.com/nickchew), You have the right idea but the function/method of incrementBy never overrides because the method signatures are not the same. You are changing the method increment by to return a Double, " -> Double " which is throwing you the error. 
Simply delete that out and your method signature is the same and there you have it. So you were pretty much right just one small thing ( I think it might be because in the previous video to this question, amit's method returns a Double so you may be confused with that) Here is the code: 
```Swift
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) {
    return super.incrementBy(points)
  }
}
```
Hope this helps
Dom
