[SOLVED] Still stuck..

Can't set the colour of the lamp in the implementation of the method. Is the implementation on the call statement at the very end with Var? Or is it in the func section within the WifiLamp class that I would have to implement the new colour? I tried both but not working.. Thanks for any help!

protocols.swift 
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: ColorSwitchable {
    let state: LightState
    var color: Color

    init(state: LightState, color: Color) {
        self.state = .On
        self.color = .RGB(0, 0, 0, 0)
    }

    func switchColor(color: Color) {
        self.color = color
    }

}


var changedWifiLight = WifiLamp(state: .On, color: .RGB(20.0, 30.0, 20.0, 1.0))

I passed the challenge using all your code except the last name where you declare another variable. The code should look like this:

// 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)
  }
}

For future readers, the function should be declared within WifiLamp in order to declare it as the protocol type in addition to Cindy's code

Still doesn't work lol, now I'm a little more confused however - it's weird since one other member mentioned the func function is required to pass... but yours doesn't include it, nor the type declared in the protocol to be the one for WifiLamp
