iOS Object-Oriented Swift 2.0 Complex Data Structures Custom Initializers

Not able to figure out the task properly. D: The question is hard to understand. This is what I wrote after reading it

pls help

structs.swift
struct RGBColor {
    let red: Double
    let green: Double
    let blue: Double
    let alpha: Double

    let description: String

    // Add your code below
    init(){
    red = 86.0
    green = 191.0
    blue = 131.0
    alpha = 1.0
    description = "red:\(red),green:\(green),blue:\(blue),alpha:\(alpha)"
    }
}

You forgot to add the parameters for red, green, blue & alpha

init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double)

also you need to use self. before assigning the value.

like so

self.blue = 131.0

and one last thing, the values shouldn't be hard coded. Instead they should equal to the variable.

init(red:Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double, description: String){ self.red = 86.0 self.green = 191.0 self.blue = 131.0 self.alpha = 1.0 self.description = "red:(red),green:(green),blue:(blue),alpha:(alpha)" }

\ This didn't work though. ; - ;

You wouldn't need to initialise description also after the colons you need a space.

I suggest going back and watching the videos.

self.blue = blue

that was the last thing I said in my help comment.

Oh! I see. Thanks for help man!

:D It worked. Thanks for the help. The hard coded values were the real problem. I got confused. My earlier inputs were also right but the hard coded values confused me.
