Struggling with Structs and subclass

In the editor, I have provided a class named Vehicle.

Your task is to create a subclass of Vehicle, named Car, that adds an additional stored property numberOfSeats of type Int with a default value of 4.

Once you've implemented the Car class, create an instance and assign it to a constant named someCar.

class Vehicle { var numberOfDoors: Int var numberOfWheels: Int

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

}

// Enter your code below class Car: Vehicle { var numberOfSeats: Int = 4

super.init(withSeats Seats: Int) { self.numberOfSeats = Seats } }

let someCar = Car(withSeats: 4) someCar.numberOfSeats = 4

Try this,

// Enter your code below
class Car: Vehicle {
  var numberOfSeats: Int 

  override init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int){
      self.numberOfSeats = 4
      super.init(withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels)
  }
}

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

So here you are saying we have a class called "Car" that inherits from Vehicle. We have a variable called numberOfSeats of type init. We then are saying, for the initialisation we going to override the Vehicles init method. So in the new init, we have the 2 properties we still take which is to do with the doors and wheels, but we now also have the number of seats which is defined as 4. Hope this helps :)
