What I'm I doing wrong here? I'm guessing I'm doing the init wrong.
// Enter your code below

var numberOfSides: Int

17,155 PointsHi, remember to include the arguments for the init method within parenthesis, and then within the body of the class assign the stored properties to the arguments via self; surrounded by curly braces. That way initialized objects have all required values ready for use. Please reference the code below.
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int = 0
init(numberOfSides: Int) {
self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
}
}
let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 4)
