My code is ok in Xcode but the editor cannot compile :(

class Vehicle { var numberOfDoors: Int var numberOfWheels: Int

init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
    self.numberOfDoors = doors
    self.numberOfWheels = wheels
}

}

class car: Vehicle {

let numberOfSeats: Int = 4

override init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
    super.init(withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels)
}

}

let someCar = car(withDoors: 5, andWheels: 4)

Try changing the "car" class to uppercase "Car". Make sure you update the capitalization for the someCar instance too.

I tried this and the code passed. The challenge tool seems to be case sensitive (that and general practice for Swift is to use initial capital letter for class names).

class Vehicle {
    var numberOfDoors: Int
    var numberOfWheels: Int
    init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
        self.numberOfDoors = doors
        self.numberOfWheels = wheels
    }
}

class Car: Vehicle {
    let numberOfSeats: Int = 4

    override init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
        super.init(withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels)
    }
}

let someCar = Car(withDoors: 5, andWheels: 4)

Hello David,

Thx so much for your help.. the mistake was having a class name with a lowercase.. It worked just fine when I changed the class name to Car.
