Hi Steven - The only thing you are missing is the last part of the question

class Shape {

    var numberOfSides: Int

    init(numberOfSides: Int){
        self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides
    }
}

let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 16)

Steven, you are very close. I'll try to help without giving you the full answer.

If you look at the challenge it says :

"Once you have a class definition, create an instance and assign it to a constant named someShape."

The way you coded it, the statement would look like this: "Once you have a constant named someShape, define a class definition"

If you look at the 2 statements, I think you will figure it out.
