Hi Tariq,

Remember location is of type Location. This means that in this code challenge you are essentially creating two instances in 'someBusiness' to initialise both of the classes.

struct Location {
  let latitude: Double
  let longitude: Double
}

class Business {
  let name: String
  let location: Location

  init(name: String, location: Location) {
    self.name = name
    self.location = location
  }
}

let someBusiness = Business(name: "London", location: Location(latitude: 51.5074, longitude: 0.1278))

You could also create a separate instance of Location and assign this constant to location:

let someLocation = Location(latitude: 51.5057, longitude: 0.1278)
let someBusiness = Business(name: "London", location: someLocation)

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Mitch
