It says it will not compile. but i am at a loss
class Shape{
var numberOfSides: Int
let someShape: String
init(numberOfSides: Int, someShape: String){
self.someShape = someShape
self.numberOfSides = 4
}
}

A few things are out of place. The 'someShape' is mean't to be an instance of 'Shape' not a variable. Also the 'init' doesn't require anything passed in. Try this:
// Enter your code below
class Shape{
var numberOfSides: Int
init(){
self.numberOfSides = 6
}
}
let someShape = Shape()
