985 PointsMy code works in the Xcode application but not on this. I do not know what I am doing wrong.
My code:
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String, amount: Double) {
self.description = description
self.amount = amount
}
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double {
return (self.amount)*(percentage/100)
}
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
}

10,101 PointsHi Sejal,
Perhaps the extra brackets are throwing it off?
Here is what was accepted in the code challenge.
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
func calculateTaxes (percentage: Double) -> Double {
return self.amount * (percentage / 100) // I returned the value without the extra brackets
}
}
I hope that helps,
Mike
PS: Thanks to the awesome resources on Team Treehouse, I launched my first app.
