Where is this wrong?

I think this is very close to right? But i'm not sure where I'm wrong though?

struct.swift 
struct Expense {
    var description: String
    var amount: Double
}

var travel = Expense(description: "Flight to Cupertino", amount: "500.00")
travel.Description
travel.Amount

The amount variable is set as a double, you therefore don't need the quotation marks.

struct Expense {
    var description: String
    var amount: Double
}

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

No worries. Took me a good bit of staring at to realise.

Remember - use the Code Challenge preview when you get something wrong as it give you an idea of where to look at for the problem.

Hey Neil - yeah I usually do click on the preview button but I kind of find it doesn't really help me that much. I'm still really green to iOS dev stumbling my way through lol!
