This works in Xcode but not on this, what am I doing wrong?

Not sure what I'm doing incorrect?

classes.swift 
struct Location {
    let latitude: Double
    let longitude: Double

    class Business {
        let name: String
        let location: Location

        init(name: String, location: Location) {
            self.name = name
           self.location = location
        }
           let someBusiness = Business(name: "Business", location: Location(latitude: 8.9, longitude: 9.9))
    }
}

You nested the Business class within the Location Struct. Also create the instance of Business outside the class.

struct Location {
    let latitude: Double
    let longitude: Double
}

class Business {
  let name: String
  let location: Location

  init(name: String, location: Location) {
    self.name = name
    self.location = location

  }
}

let someBusiness = Business(name: "Apple", location: Location(latitude: 322432.32, longitude: -32424.3242))

Thank you soon much, I was stuck on this for almost 3 days........ Greatly appreciated! I see now what I was doing wrong. However, throughout my process I've gained a greater understanding of the Initialization process as well as creating an instance.

I had a few versions that worked in xCode too, was very frustrating! I had to come here for the correct solution
