touchesBegan function in Swift doesn't need override - swift

Question

I'm new to Xcode and I've been playing around with making a SpriteKit game in Swift.
In every tutorial or Stack overflow topic I've looked at, the touchesBegan function has an override before it, but when I copy that code into GameScene.swift, I get an error, "override can only be specified on class members," with an auto-fix of deleting "override."
So instead of this:override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {...}
it wants me to have this:func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {...}
I'm not sure why this is happening, and I don't know if it will affect how the function works.
My current code in GameScene.swift is:
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
override init(size: CGSize) {
super.init(size: size)
backgroundColor = SKColor.blackColor()
let stars = Stars()
var starNode:SKNode!
starNode = stars.createStars(CGFloat(30), direction: 1, scaleX: self.frame.width, scaleY: self.frame.height)
addChild(starNode)
func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
//Nothing here yet
}
}
}
Is there something else I am missing?
Thanks!

You must close the second init with a } after addChild(starNode). Your code should read:
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
override init(size: CGSize) {
super.init(size: size)
backgroundColor = SKColor.blackColor()
// let stars = Stars()
var starNode:SKNode!
starNode = stars.createStars(CGFloat(30), direction: 1,
scaleX: self.frame.width, scaleY: self.frame.height)
addChild(starNode)
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
//Nothing here yet
}
}
