I do not understand why is my code wrong! I think I'm doing everything right.
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double
}
var travel = Expense(description: "Flight to Cupertino", amount: "500.00")

this is incorrect. "500.00" is a String, not a Double.

Change
var travel = Expense(description: "Flight to Cupertino", amount: "500.00")
to
var travel = Expense(description: "Flight to Cupertino", amount: 500.00)
