need help.. Can't find a solution

Implement the Subtract method so that the test passes.

Calculator.cs
public class Calculator
{
    public double Result;

    public Calculator(double number)
    {
        Result = number;
    }     

    public void Add(double number)
    {
        Result += number;
    }

    public void Substract(double number)
    {
        Result -= number;
    }
}
CalculatorTests.cs
using Xunit;

public class CalculatorTests
{
    [Fact]
    public void Initialization()
    {
        var expected = 1.1;
        var target = new Calculator(1.1);
        Assert.Equal(expected, target.Result, 1);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void BasicAdd()
    {
        var target = new Calculator(1.1);
        target.Add(2.2);
        var expected = 3.3;
        Assert.Equal(expected, target.Result, 1);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void BasicSubtract()
    {
        var target = new Calculator(1.1);
        target.Subtract(0.2);
        var expected = 0.9;
        Assert.Equal(expected, target.Result, 1);
    }
}

You're really close, but you you have a little spelling/typo error.

You have "Substract" (with an extra "s") instead of "Subtract".

Can someone please explain what the last parameter (1) does in this piece of code Assert.Equal(expected, target.Result, 1);.

I have looked at the documentation and found only two object passed in as the parameter.
