Question

struct Location { let latitude: Double let longitude: Double let name: String //should I write let name: String here or in the class. I dont understand. The question mentions in the class. Logic says you should mention it here too. }

class Business { let name: String // or here? or both? The question is too confusing. let location: Location // I dont even know if this is the right line of code to write? What does location of type Location in the question mean?

init(x: Double, y: Double, name: String) {
    self.someBusiness = Location(latitude: x, longitude: y, name: name)
}

} let location = // I don't know what to write here. let Business = Location(latitude: 12.345, longitude: 21.456, name: "Some Business")

I find the code challenges too difficult to complete lately. I can't understand a single challenge without referring to the answers of other users in the last 5-6 challenges. In fact, I find the questions too confusing and ambiguous. I understand the instructor wants you to think and answer and not spoon feed students but as a rookie to coding it becomes extremely difficult to follow. I feel there needs to be some more "being explicit" in the questions or concepts to make a beginner understand. I've been struggling hard and trying to move on since a while but now I'm stalling. How do I ask more than 2-3 questions in 1 code challenge without talking to someone? I don't know if I can continue this way?

This should fix it. I recommend you re-watch some videos before moving on.

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 location = Location(latitude: 34.0, longitude: 32.0)
let someBusiness = Business(name: "Treehouse", location: location)

I completed the challenge as follows and arranged the wording in a way that made a bit more sense to me.

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

class Business {
    let name: String
    let location: Location

    init(name: String, latLocation: Double, longLocation: Double) {
        self.name = name
        self.location = Location(latitude: latLocation, longitude: longLocation)
    }
}

let someBusiness = Business(name: "Apple The Grove", latLocation: 34.072780, longLocation: -118.357609)

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: 0.0, longitude: 0.0))
