Protocol Oriented Programming and Class Swift

I am trying to implement protocol oriented class watching tutorials from on of the popular tutorial sites. I got everything correct so far but for some reason one of the properties is not being updated while the others are updated. Here is the code :

protocol Paintable  : class {
    var primaryBodyColor : String{get set}
    var secondaryBodyColor : [String]? {get set}

    func paint(newPrimaryColor : String, newSecondaryColor : [String]?)
}


extension Paintable   {
    var primaryBodyColor : String {
        get {
            return "Black"
        }
        set {
        }
    }
}

protocol Wheeled {
    var numberOfWheels : Int {get set}
}


extension Wheeled {
    var numberOfWheels : Int {
        get {
            return 4
        }

        set {
        }
    }
}
protocol EngineSize {
    var engineSizeCC : Int {get set}
}

extension EngineSize {
    var engineSizeCC : Int {
        return 2300
    }
}




class Honda : Transport, Paintable, Wheeled, EngineSize {
    var secondaryBodyColor : [String]?
    var engineSizeCC : Int
    //We can also override default initializer of protocol, here we are going to instantiate with our initializer
    init(engineSizeCC : Int){
        self.engineSizeCC = engineSizeCC
    }

    func paint(newPrimaryColor: String, newSecondaryColor: [String]?) {
        primaryBodyColor = newPrimaryColor
        secondaryBodyColor = newSecondaryColor
    }
}

var civic = Honda(engineSizeCC: 400)
civic.primaryBodyColor
civic.passengerCapacity
civic.numberOfWheels
civic.engineSizeCC

civic.paint("blue", newSecondaryColor: ["Red","Purple"])
civic.primaryBodyColor -> "Black"
civic.secondaryColor -> ["Red"], ["Purple"]

The problem I am having is the primaryBodyColor stays "Black" even though I called the "paint" function to set the primary color as "Blue" and secondary color.

I am new to protocol oreinted programming so I will appreciate help on resolving this issue.

Extensions cannot store properties, which is perhaps why you don't have any code in the setter of primaryBodyColor. The implementation of primaryBodyColor needs to be in a struct/class, just as you've done with seondaryBodyColor. So if just before that line within the Honda class you include the following line, your code will work as expected...

var primaryBodyColor = "black"

Like it's been said in the comments, your implementation of the primaryBodyColor always return black and doesn't allow to be set.

By default, properties in Swift have a get and set method, there's no need to add {get set} after each one of them.

If you want to add a default value, you can do it like this:

var primaryBodyColor = "Black"

You don't even need to declare it as String because the compiler will realize that "Black" is a string and type it correctly.
