struct RGBColor { let red: Double let green: Double let blue: Double let alpha: Double
let description: String
// Add your code below
// why do I need to specify names of colors here ->?
init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double){ self.red = 86.0 self.green = 191.0 self.blue = 131.0 self.alpha = 1.0 self.description = "red: (red), green: (green), blue: (blue), alpha: (alpha)"
}

iOS Development with Swift Techdegree Graduate 30,149 PointsIs this what you are looking for below? self refers to the constants at the top that were declared in the struct. The initializers are setting those values.
struct RGBColor {
let red: Double
let green: Double
let blue: Double
let alpha: Double
let description: String
init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double) {
self.red = red
self.green = green
self.blue = blue
self.alpha = alpha
self.description = "red: (red), green: (green), blue: (blue), alpha: (alpha)"
}
}
//This is how you would call the init.
let color = RGBColor.init(red: 86.0, green: 191.0, blue: 131.0, alpha: 1.0)
print(color.red)
Also this is how you can format your code for the forum.
