[swift-users] Needing self when one initialiser method calls another.

[Diego Barros]

Hi all,

​Given the ​following example:

struct Vector {

var x: Double

var y: Double

init() {

*self.init(x: 0, y: 0)*

}

init(x: Double, y: Double) {

self.x = y

self.y = y

}

}


I'm just curious as to why the *self* (in bold) is needed in the init()
that's calling init(x: Double, y: Double)? Can't the compiler infer from
the parameters what should be called?
