1,523 Pointsso how do i change the x and y coordinants??
i want to change the place robot is in but I dont know what code I need to do that!
class Point {
var x: Int
var y: Int
init(x: Int, y: Int){
self.x = x
self.y = y
}
}
class Machine {
var location: Point
init() {
self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
}
func move(direction: String) {
print("Do nothing! Im a machine!")
}
}
// Enter your code below
class Robot: Machine {
override init(){
self.location = Point(x: 1, y: 1)
}
override func move(direction) -> String {
switch direction {
case "Up": Robot.y = y + 1
case "Down": Robot.y -= 1
case "Left": Robot.x -= 1
case "Right": Robot.x += 1
default: break
}
}
}

You do not need to override init in this one, because you do not define any properties, so you do not need to initialize them. Everything will get initialized with the init defined in the Machine class.
When you override the move method, you should not have the String return, as it is not returning anything. I believe you may have misplaced it and you should place it as the type of the direction parameter.
override func move(direction: String)
Lastly, instead of Robot.y or Robot.x, it should be self.location.y and self.location.x
See my complete answer in another post I recently answered, if you're still having trouble.
