Question wording confusion

Question

In the last sentence of this problem, it says: "Once you've implemented the Car class, create an instance and assign it to a constant named someCar." But in order create an instance of this new class, we need to pass in the parameters that it requires but the prompt doesn't give us any values to pass in. Do you want us to just pass in any values we feel like? Or is there a way to create an instance of a class without passing in any parameters that I missed? Thanks!

classes.swift

class Vehicle {
    var numberOfDoors: Int
    var numberOfWheels: Int

    init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
        self.numberOfDoors = doors
        self.numberOfWheels = wheels
    }
}

// Enter your code below
class Car: Vehicle {
  var numberOfSeats: Int = 4
}

let someCar = Car()

Hi there,

Just pass in some values that you create:

// Enter your code below
class Car: Vehicle {
  var numberOfSeats: Int = 4
}

let someCar = Car(withDoors: 4, andWheels: 4)

That works fine!

Steve.
