What am I doing wrong?

Unable to get this code to pass. Getting error: Don't use the memberwise initializers Swift creates. Add your own custom initializer...

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

    let description: String

    // Add your code below
    init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double, description: String) {
        self.red = red
        self.green = green
        self.blue = blue
        self.alpha = alpha
        self.description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
    }
}

I had the same issue- I realized that we do not have to pass in the value of description since we are setting it from other values already passed into the INIT method.
