Hello, I have some troubles with this code. It seems to be ok but it's not working. Any ideas?
// Declare protocol here
protocol ColorSwitchable {
func switchColor(color: Color)
}
enum LightState {
case on, off
}
enum Color {
case rgb(Double, Double, Double, Double)
case hsb(Double, Double, Double, Double)
}
class WifiLamp {
let state: LightState
var color: Color
init() {
self.state = .on
self.color = .rgb(0,0,0,0)
}
}

Just read this sentence careful
For the sake of this challenge, make sure your external argument label is omitted by using an underscore.
I just copied and paste your code snipped and added a underscore for external argument.
So your code must look like that:
protocol ColorSwitchable {
func switchColor( _ color: Color)
}
But I found this on apple guides
As with type property requirements, you always prefix type method requirements with the static keyword when they’re defined in a protocol.
However it works without 'static' as well.
