Struggling in a Playground I get lots of different compiler errors with different tries. The first one I remember: “class” was not allowed in a protocol extension, I was told to use “static” instead. > >> NewSuper uses this classFunction like: >> func otherFunction( arg: UInt64) -> UInt64 >> { >> return self.dynamicType.classFunction( arg ) + 21 >> } > > If this is how you’re using it, it’d be clearer for the method you’re > currently calling “classFunction” to be an instance method called something > like “utilityFunction”.

I was using a class function, only because it does not access any of the ivars. But it could be an instance method as well (and, as you mentioned: it better should be). I’ll try to fix this in my code. Thanks a lot!
