how solve it
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!")
}
}
class Robot: Machine {
var location2: Point
var x1: Int

71,830 PointsJunaid, good start, but as you saw there are some problems. First, you did too much work. You don't need the member variables in Robot, or the initializer. What variables are needed are inherited from Machine. And the default member-wise initializer works fine.
Second, in the overridden function you only need one parameter: direction.
Third, in the switch statement you need to reference the x and y variables of the Point object location, and increment them correctly. Increment should be in the form x++ or x--, not ++x or --x. With these changes you get:
class Robot: Machine {
override func move(direction: String) {
switch direction {
case "Up":
location.y++
case "Down":
location.y--
case "Left":
location.x--
case "Right":
location.x++
default:
break
}
}
}
Hope this helps.
