Why is this code wrong?

It works in XCode.

The problem is the override init() method in the Robot class. Just get rid of that method and everything works. (I think somehow you were under the misconception that the robots should be initialized with a different point of origin, but this is not the case. Since that means it will have different coordinates after using the move function than the challenge is expecting, it doesn't pass)

Hi Ethan, it looks like you didn't include your code with your question, so we can't answer what's wrong with it.

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!")
}

}

class Robot: Machine {

override init(){
    super.init()
    self.location = Point(x: 1, y: 1)
}

override func move(direction: String) {
    switch direction {
        case "Up": location.y += 1
        case "Down": location.y -= 1
        case "Left": location.x -= 1
        case "Right": location.x += 1
        default: break
    }
}

}
