1,656 PointsStuck on the overriding methods challenge
The challenge wants me to override the increment by method for class RoundButton which I think I did but then it wants me to set a default parameter of 7.0 for points.. Do I need to use the init method?
class Button {
var width: Double
var height: Double
init(width:Double, height:Double){
self.width = width
self.height = height
}
func incrementBy(points: Double){
width += points
height += points
}
}
class RoundButton: Button {
var cornerRadius: Double = 5.0
Override func incrementBy(points: Double){
width += points
height += points
let points = points(7.0)
}
}

1,363 PointsYou don't have to use any init method. To declare a default value for a parameter you have just to follow the rule: nameOfMethod(parameterOne: Type = DefaultValue). Also Apple recommends that the parameters with default values should be placed at the end of parameters list. Good luck!

4,727 Pointsi think you are doing the last part wrong . your declaring a constant named "points" and assigning it the value of and instance of "points" with 7.0 as the parameter. i hope that makes sense. you have to remember that in the function icrementBy, "points" is a local parameter. its been a while since i did this challenge. but maybe you have to use a super.init?? lol let me know if i helped
