Hi guys me again :)
I'm getting this compile error - swift_lint.swift:12:21: error: assigning a property to itself
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any help would be aprreciated
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
init() {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape.self

You are not initializing numberOfSides
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
init(numberOfSides: Int) {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 4)

3,818 PointsThanks Jeff, I always forget the parenthesis :) Although I'm getting the same compile error re: mac OS 12 that was occurring a few days ago - so it won't compile until the guys figure it out.
