Points to width

it says width is not in the property with points, but in the xcode works for me, or am I doing other thing that is not asking, please if someone could help me

Button.swift 
class Button {
  var width: Double
  var height: Double

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

  }
}

let size = Button(width: 10, height: 10)

Hi Martin,

There's nothing technically wrong with your code, which is why it works in Xcode. However, it's not doing what the challenge is asking for; the challenge wants you to create a method that increases the value of both the width and the height by the points supplied to the method. What you've done is simply set the value of the width to whatever points are supplied.

For example, if we had a Button instance with a width of 50 points and a height of 20 points, calling incrementBy(10) on that instance should change the width to 60 points and the height to 30 points.

Here's how you would do it:

increment.swift 
  func incrementBy(points: Double) {
    self.width += points
    self.height += points
  }
