overruling init in a subclass and changing a superclass instance in that subclass in swift

Hi everyone,

I'm new to swift and I'm playing around with the language a little. What I'm about to ask might seem completely redundant but I would like to know a solution because it can give me a better insight in how to work with base/sub classes and change instances from the superclass.

I've been playing around for a very long time with this bit of code but can't find the sollution.

Basically what I want to do is create a subclass (Animal) that inherits from the Person class but then changes the init for the var profession to a standard init that returns a string with (species) in the string itself.

can anyone help me out with this one. I know I'd better just create a whole new base class, but fixing this problem would help me understand the class syntax much better.

Here's the code:

""" SWIFT import UIKit

class Person { var name: String var age: Int var profession: String

init(name: String, age: Int, profession: String) {
    self.name = name
    self.age = age
    self.profession = profession
}

func whoAmI() -> String {
    return "My name is \(name) and I'm \(age) old. My profession is \(profession)"
}

}

class Animal: Person { var species: String init(species: String) { self.species = species override init(name: String, age: Int, profession: String = "I'm a (species), I don't have a profession.") } override func whoAmI() -> String { return "I'm a (species) and my name is (name). I'm (age) years old." } }

var droop = Animal(species: "Dog") droop.whoAmI() """
