What am I doing wrong?

?

objects.swift
// Enter your code below
class Shape {
var numberOfSides: Int
init(numberOfSides: Int) {
let someShape = Shape.self

 }
}

Hi John,

In your constructor, you want to assign the incoming integer value to the stored property.

Then outside the class you want to create the someShape instance. That can't happen inside the class.

So, inside init set self.numberOfSides = numberOfSides.

Then outside the class create let someShape = Shape(numberOfSides: 3)

I hope that helps.

Steve.
