"An enum named Button" challenge throwing an error

The error I'm receiving says "Make sure you assign the results of the expression to a constant named doneButton". So I did that and I still get the error. Can someone point me in the right direction?

buttons.swift
// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)

import UIBarButtonItem

enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String)
    case edit(title: String)
}

func button() -> UIBarButtonItem {
    switch self {
    case .done(let title, let style, let target, let action):
        return UIBarButtonStyle(title: String, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    case .edit(let title, let style, let target, let action):
        return UIBarButtonStyle(title: String, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    }
}


let doneButton = BarButton.done(title: "A title", style: .done, target: nil, aciton: nil).button()

It looks as though you are just stuck on the last part; here is how it should look. Let me know if you have any questions

enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String)
    case edit(title: String)

    func button() -> UIBarButtonItem{
        switch self {
        case .done(let title):
            return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
        case .edit(let title):
            return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    }
}

}
let done = BarButton.done(title: "Save")
let button = done.button()

Thanks! I can see where I went wrong now. I appreciate it.
