2,524 PointsWhat's wrong with my code? I'm stuck at the exercise for creating a subclass, and I can't seem to get it right.
I don't understand what goes inside the brackets for the init part of an inherited / override init.
Also, not sure what is wrong with the instance I'm trying to create.
class Vehicle {
var numberOfDoors: Int
var numberOfWheels: Int
init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
self.numberOfDoors = doors
self.numberOfWheels = wheels
}
}
// Enter your code below
class Car: Vehicle {
var numberOfSeats: Int
override init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
Car.init(withDoors: Int, andWheels: Int) {
self.numberOfSeats = 4
}
}
}
let someCar = Car(withDoors: 4, andWheels: 4)

class Car: Vehicle {
var numberOfSeats: Int
override init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
self.numberOfSeats = 4
super.init(withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels)
}
}
let someCar = Car(withDoors: 4, andWheels: 4)
