It says I am doing something wrong in the last line.... What AM I DOING WRONG!?!?
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double {
return (self.amount * (percentage/100))
}
}
var item = Expense(description: "This is so Expensive!")
Expense.amount = 100

Expense is just the name of the struct. You initialized Expense with a description and set it to a variable named item. Now item inherits the properties and methods of Expense including the "amount" property which can be accessed through dot notation as item.amount
