Trying to complete the Enum challenge

It keeps giving me this error: swift_lint.swift:44:1: error: expected declaration, the code seems to be fine, thank you for helping me!

classes.swift
class Point {
    var x: Int
    var y: Int

    init(x: Int, y: Int){
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
    }
}

enum Direction {
    case Left 
    case Right
    case Up
    case Down
}


class Robot {
    var location: Point

    init() {
        self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
    }

    func move(direction: Direction) {
        // Enter your code below
func move(direction: Direction) {
        // We need to switch on the parameter we pass in.
        switch direction { 
            case .Up:  
                self.location.y += 1  
            case .Down:  
                self.location.y -= 1
            case .Left:
                self.location.x -= 1
            case .Right:
                self.location.x += 1
        }
    }
}

Hello, it appears that you re-declared the move method on the Robot class which is causing that error. If you remove that re-declaration then your code should compile fine (see below).

    func move(direction: Direction) {
        // We need to switch on the parameter we pass in.
        switch direction {
            case .Up:
                self.location.y += 1
            case .Down:
                self.location.y -= 1
            case .Left:
                self.location.x -= 1
            case .Right:
                self.location.x += 1
        }
    }

You have a duplicity in the declaration of the Move method, If you remove the line before "// Enter your code below" it should work fine.
