ios - Swift Error: Editor placeholder in source file

Question

Hello I am implementing a graph data structure. When I try to build the application the I get the error "Editor placeholder in source file"

The full graph implementation was pulled from WayneBishop's GitHub from here https://github.com/waynewbishop/SwiftStructures

class Path {

var total: Int!
var destination: Node
var previous: Path!

init(){
    //Error happens on next line
    destination = Node(key: String?, neighbors: [Edge!], visited: Bool, lat: Double, long: Double)
     }
}

I changed the Node Class around to:

public class Node{

var key: String?
var neighbors: [Edge!]
var visited: Bool = false
var lat: Double
var long: Double

init(key: String?, neighbors: [Edge!], visited: Bool, lat: Double, long: Double) {
    self.neighbors = [Edge!]()
     }

}

This Error happens 5 times throughout the code that I have built so far. Also this question has been asked, but not answered.

I think the error may be due to my changes to the init() in the Node class. Prior to my changes it was just init(). If it is, how can I add objects to the class? Pardon me if I am not correct in my programming terminology, as I am relatively new to OOP.

Sometimes, XCode does not forget the line which had an "Editor Placeholder" even if you have replaced it with a value. Cut the portion of the code where XCode is complaining and paste the code back to the same place to make the error message go away. This worked for me.
