The playground runs it well I guess, but the site says it has compiler errors (it doesn't). Please help :)

Please help :) What's wrong with that code? I even added last 2 lines to create a color and use description. Looks fine...

structs.swift
struct RGBColor {
    let red: Double
    let green: Double
    let blue: Double
    let alpha: Double

    let description: String

    init(r: Double, g: Double, b: Double, a: Double) {
        red = r
        green = g
        blue = b
        alpha = a

        description = "red: \(r), green: \(g), blue: \(b), alpha: \(a)"
    }
}

let color = RGBColor(r: 255, g: 100, b: 100, a: 255)
let myColor = color.description

strangely using letters instead instead of the actual names of the colours doesn't seem to work.

This should pass it:

struct RGBColor {
let red: Double
let green: Double
let blue: Double
let alpha: Double

let description: String

init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double) {
    self.red = red
    self.green = green
    self.blue = blue
    self.alpha = alpha

    description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
}
}

let color = RGBColor(red: 255, green: 100, blue: 100, alpha: 255)
let myColor = color.description
