19,127 PointsHow can I change position of Robot?
Help me please!
class Point {
var x: Int
var y: Int
init(x: Int, y: Int){
self.x = x
self.y = y
}
}
class Machine {
var location: Point
init() {
self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
}
func move(direction: String) {
print("Do nothing! I'm a machine!")
}
}
// Enter your code below
class Robot: Machine {
override func move(direction: String) {
switch direction{
case "Up": location = Point(x: self.location.x + 1, y: self.location.y + 0)
//here will be rest of "switch"
default: break
}
}
}

10,101 PointsHi Andrey,
Moving the location of the robot is actually a bit simpler. There are two simple ways of updating it.
See below.
class Point {
var x: Int
var y: Int
init(x: Int, y: Int){
self.x = x
self.y = y
}
}
class Machine {
var location: Point
init() {
self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
}
func move(direction: String) {
print("Do nothing! I'm a machine!")
}
}
// Enter your code below
class Robot: Machine {
override func move(direction: String) {
switch direction{
case "Up": self.location.y = self.location.y + 1
case "Down": self.location.y = self.location.y - 1
case "Left": self.location.x--
case "Right": self.location.x++
default: break
}
}
}
// Then test it in the Playground
let myRobot = Robot()
myRobot.move("Right")
print("Point X: \(myRobot.location.x), Point Y: \(myRobot.location.y)")
As you can see, I tested this in the Playground. It really helps to visualize everything and see what is going on.
I hope that helps,
Mike
PS: Thanks to the awesome resources on Team Treehouse, I launched my first app.
Now you can practice writing Swift code directly on your iPhone :-)
