1,316 PointsUnsure of what is incorrect
I'm guessing it has something to do with my init?
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
let someShape = init(numberOfSides: Int) {
self.numberOfSides = Int
}
}

5,819 PointsWhen you are creating an instance of some object it is really important you do that after closing } of a class. Not within.
correct code is:
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
init(numberOfSides: Int) {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 4)
Also, numberOfSides in init method is your parameter. When you want to assign this parameter to some variable or a constant in your class you should first write your variable or a constant like self.numberOfSides = and here you put that name within (...) in your init method. That argument, in this example some number, an integer will be applied to numberOfSides
