iOS Object-Oriented Swift 2.0 Complex Data Structures Custom Initializers

Not sure how to call the init/struct?

So I think the instance method is correct, I just don't how to call the init to get it to display the numbers i want '86.0,', '131',0', etc.... I hope that makes sense?

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: Double, green:Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double) {

         self.red = red
         self.green = green
         self.blue = blue
         self.alpha = alpha

        description = "red:\(red), green:\(green), blue:\(blue), alpha:\(alpha)"

    }
}
let colour = RGBColor.init(red: 86.0, green: 191.0, blue: 131.0, alpha: 1.0)

You have done well. All you need to do is call the Class directly. The init method will be called automatically when your parameters you pass in match those asked for by the init method you have defined.

One other thing, you need spaces in your description string after the colons and before the interpolated values.

With these corrections your code looks like this.

struct RGBColor {
    let red: Double
    let green: Double
    let blue: Double
    let alpha: Double

    let description: String

    // Add your code below

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

         self.red = red
         self.green = green
         self.blue = blue
         self.alpha = alpha

        description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"

    }
}
let colour = RGBColor(red: 86.0, green: 191.0, blue: 131.0, alpha: 1.0)

Keep upt he great work! :)
