I have a problem with re-defining the initializer method. then how to re-define the move method?
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 am a machine!")
}
}
class Robot : Machine {
override init() {
super.init()
}
override func move(_ direction: String) {
switch direction {
case "up" : location = Point( x = x , y += y)
case "down" : location = Point( x = x , y -= y)
case "right" : location = Point( x += x , y = y)
case "left" : location = Point( x -= x , y = y)
default: break
}
}
}
let robot1 = Robot

class Robot: Machine {
override init() {
super.init()
}
override func move(_ direction: String) {
switch direction {
case "Up": location.y += 1
case "Down": location.y -= 1
case "Left": location.x -= 1
case "Right": location.x += 1
default: break
}
}
}
