why does this step not have a preview button?

Swift 2.0 Protocols. Task 2 in the last editor does not have a preview button so i cannot tell what is wrong with my code. if some one could please tell me, that'd be great!

protocols.swift 
protocol ColorSwitchable {
    func switchColor(color: Color)
}

enum LightState {
  case On, Off
}

enum Color {
  case RGB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
  case HSB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
}

class WifiLamp, ColorSwitchable {
  let state: LightState
  var color: Color

  switchColor(color: Color)

  init() {
    self.state = .On
    self.color = .RGB(0,0,0,0)
  }

}

please help. ive been trying to figure this out for about 40 minutes now. i have no idea where the error even is. i already changed the class code to "class WifiLamp: ColorSwitchable" and ive done a number of other things with the function call.

It looks like you haven't actually implemented the switchColor() method. The task wants you to just set the color of the lamp to the new color that gets passed into the method. So inside your class definition, you'll want to implement the method like this:

func switchColor(color: Color) {
    self.color = color
}
