self.red = red
self.green = green
self.blue = blue
self.alpha = alpha
description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
}
self.red = red means my red (i.e., the stored property) should be assigned the red value being passed to the initializer.
E.g., if you call the initializer like this:
let color = RGBColor(24, 36, 255, 0)
then the struct's stored property red will have the value 24.
description doesn't need self because it's a calculated property. It's String value is made up from the other, passed in, values, and uses String interpolation to combine them all into a String.
Happy coding!
