2,266 Pointsprotocol challenge 2 - don't known what I'm doing wrong here
I thought i have already put in the method but the compiler keeps showing that the protocol ColorSwitchable needs a method as directed in the instructions???
// Declare protocol here
protocol ColorSwitchable {
func switchColor(_color: Color)
}
enum LightState {
case on, off
}
enum Color {
case rgb(Double, Double, Double, Double)
case hsb(Double, Double, Double, Double)
}
class WifiLamp: Colorswitchable {
let state: LightState
var color: Color
func switchColor(_color: Color) {
self.color = color
}
init() {
self.state = .on
self.color = .rgb(0,0,0,0)
}
}

Courses Plus Student 10,182 PointsIn your switchColor function your external argument is "_color". The challenge wants the external argument omitted and the internal argument named 'color'. In order to omit an external argument for a function you would do something like this:
func someFunction(_ localArgument: Value)
Hope this helps!

2,266 PointsHI thank you for your answer but still can't seem to get code to work, if you are able to would you be able to give an example code for visual representation, it would be much appreciated Thanks

Courses Plus Student 10,182 PointsSo your switchColor function should look like this:
protocol ColorSwitchable { func switchColor(_ color: Color)
There is a space between the underscore character and "color".
Hope this helps
