Why am I getting a error saying could not be compiled?

why is it not working?

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

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

class Machine {
  var location: Point

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

  func move(_ direction: String) {
    print("Do nothing! Im a machine!")
  }
}

// Enter your code below

class Robot: Machine {
    override func move(_ direction: String) {
        switch direction {
            case "Up": y += 1
            case "Down": y -= 1
            case "Left": x -= 1
            case " Rigt": x += 1
           default: 
             break
        }
    }

}

You are very close

class Robot: Machine {
    override func move(_ direction: String) {
        switch direction {
        case "Up": location.y += 1
        case "Down": location.y -= 1
        case "Left": location.x -= 1
        case " Rigt": location.x += 1
        default:
            break
        }
    }

}

I posted the correct code, you forgot the word location in your switch statement
