What's missing?

Please help I'm clueless.

test.swift 
class Point {
    var x: Int
    var y: Int

    init(x: Int, y: Int) {
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
    }
}

enum Direction {
    case left
    case right
    case up
    case down
}

class Robot {
    var location: Point

    init() {
        self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
    }

    func move(_ direction: Direction) {
        // Enter your code below
        switch direction {
        case .up : Robot().location.y + 1
        case .down : Robot().location.y - 1
        case .right : Robot().location.x + 1
        case .left : Robot().location.x - 1
        }
    }
}

Hi Gabriel

You were REALLY close with this one! Great job.

With this, it's important to remember scope.

Here is the correct code to use

func move(_ direction: Direction) {
        switch direction {
        case .up : location.y += 1
        case .down : location.y -= 1
        case .right : location.x += 1
        case .left : location.x -= 1
        }

As you can see, I have removed 'Robot()'This is not needed, because you are INSIDE Robot()! So you have access to 'location' in the function, because 'location' only exists within Robot()!

Also, when incrementing a value by 1, use '+=' or "-=" (not just + or -) to increment by the given value

If this doesn't make sense please let me know.
