i need to :
Create a variable named item and assign it an instance of Expense (remember to use the initializer with the description parameter. Enter any description you like). On the next line assign the amount property a value of 100.
my code looks like this :
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double)-> Double{
return (self.amount*(percentage/100))
}
var item = Expense(description:"Anything")
item.amount=100.00
}
Whats wrong with what I'm doing ? Thank you.

struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double)-> Double{
return (self.amount*(percentage/100))
}
}
var item = Expense(description:"Anything")
item.amount=100.00
That'll sort it out!
