Hi Jun,

There are a number of things wrong with your code. Maybe think about going back and re-watching the course. Here's a list of some of your errors:

  1. Car class is missing a closing bracket
  2. You made numberOfSeats a constant. Which is fine. But then you try to change it in your init method. That's a no-no.
  3. Your init method needs an override keyword since you're overriding the super class's init.
  4. You need to call super.init:withDoors:andWheels in your Car class. It's part of the inheritance process.
  5. The arguments to super.init:withDoors:andWheels need to come from somewhere... so the Car class's init method's parameters need to change.
  6. After you do the above, you'll need to change the way you initialize Car when you assign it to someCar.

Actually, that seems like a pretty exhaustive list of errors. But, it might not be.
