Courses Plus Student 1,474 PointsSwift Enum and Structs
Challenge Task 3 of 4
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
What am I doing wrong....!!!.....Please someone Help!!!!!!
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double ) -> Double {
return (self.amount*(percentage/100))
}
var item = Expense(description: "My description")
item.amount = 100
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
}

You can't use the Expense struct from inside the Expense struct.
If you move your code declaring item outside of the struct, that all looks fine.
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double ) -> Double {
return (self.amount*(percentage/100))
}
}
// moved to here
var item = Expense(description: "My description")
item.amount = 100
I hope that helps!
Steve.
