iOS Object-Oriented Swift Inheritance What is Inheritance?

Object oriented Swift Q2 of 3

class Button {
  var width: Double
  var height: Double

  init(width:Double, height:Double){
    self.width = width
    self.height = height

  }

}

  class RoundButton: Button {

}
  var cornerRadius = RoundButton(cornerRadius: 5.0)

    self.cornerRadius = cornerRadius

Kind of stuck here.

I TRIED THIS TOO....

class Button {
  var width: Double
  var height: Double

  init(width:Double, height:Double){
    self.width = width
    self.height = height
  }
}

class RoundButton: Button {

}
  var cornerRadius: 5.0



    init(cornerRadius: 5.0){
    self.cornerRadius = cornerRadius

  }
}

Since RoundButton is inheriting from the Button class, you need to think about what the unique properties of RoundButton are and add those to its class. Then when you initialize an instance of RoundButton, you can set the properties of the Button class as well.

Does that help point you in the right direction?

Hi Ellie,

Question 2 wants you to create a stored property inside the RoundButton class. To do this, you'll need to place the properties inside your RoundButton Class. Like this:

class RoundButton: Button {
  var cornerRadius = 5.0
}

Hope I've helped. Happy Coding! :)
