If you move the someShape line outside of the class braces, that'll work better.
And, when you call a new Shape instance, you want to pass in a number of sides. Something like:
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
init(numberOfSides: Int) {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
} // end the class here
let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 4)
I hope that helps,
Steve.

15,990 PointsI see a couple issues. (1) It appears your someShape object is being instantiated inside the Shape class. Move that outside of the last curly brace. (2) your init statement requires an Int to initialize the numberOfSides of that object. You need to provide an Int when trying to create a Shape object.
Hope that helps.
