The other items are initialized in the class that implement the protocol outside the init method:

class VendingMachine: VendingMachineType {

let selection: [VendingSelection] = [.Soda, .DietSoda, .Chips, .Cookie, .Sandwich, .Wrap, .CandyBar, .PopTart, .Water, .FruitJuice, .SportsDrink, .Gum]
var inventory: [VendingSelection : ItemType]
var amountDeposited: Double = 10.0

required init(inventory: [VendingSelection: ItemType] ) {
    self.inventory = inventory
}...
