What is going on?

I'm not sure what is happening.

protocols.swift 
protocol AnimalType {
    var numberOfLegs: Int { get }
}

protocol PetType: AnimalType {

    var cuddlyName: String { get }
    var numberOfLegs: Int { get }

    }

    struct Dog: PetType {

   var cuddlyName: String { get }
   var numberOfLegs: Int { get }

}

You were VERY close.

You do not need to define the get attribute on the variables inside the struct. That is there by default. ;)

Your code would look like this.

protocol AnimalType {
    var numberOfLegs: Int { get }
}

protocol PetType: AnimalType {
    var cuddlyName: String { get }
    var numberOfLegs: Int { get }
}

struct Dog: PetType {
   var cuddlyName: String
   var numberOfLegs: Int
}

Keep up the great work! :)
