Swift Error: Variable used within its own initial value
ios, ios8, swift, xcode6
Solution
You are declaring a constant named `word`, and trying to use the argument with the same name to initialize it. The compiler tries to use the just declared constant to assign its own initial value, instead of using the argument.
Problem
When I'm initializing an instance of an entity I'm getting the error `Variable used within its own initial value`. Here is the code throwing the error: ``` class func buildWordDefinition (word:String, language:Language, root:TBXMLElement) -> WordDefinition { let word = WordDefinition(word: word, language: language) ``` The error points at the `word` variable. Here is the WordDefinition class: ``` class WordDefinition { let word: String let language: Language init(word: String, language:Language) { self.word = word self.language = language } } ``` What does this error mean ?
