I am having problem with code challenge presented in the below URL:

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-iphone-app-with-swift-20/getting-started-with-ios-development/swift-recap-part-2

Below is solution. Could any one please help?

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!")
}

}

// Enter your code below class Robot: Machine{

override init() { super.init() self.location = Point(x: 10, y: 10) }

override func move(direction: String){

  switch direction{

   case "Up": self.location.y = self.location.y++ 
    case "Down": self.location.y++
    case "Left": self.location.x--
    case "Right": self.location.x++
    default: break

  }

}

}

David,

Try not overwriting init.

If you still have trouble, try copying your code into an XCode playground and see what errors come up.
