Can't get a reference to NSNumberFormatter in Swift

Question

I can't figure this out, referencing this post: Struggling with NSNumberFormatter in Swift for currency

I can't get a reference to NSNumberFormatter...i.e. I can't call any methods on formatter? (the below throws an error of expected declaration)

import Foundation

class CurrencyFormatter {

    var price = 100

    var formatter = NSNumberFormatter()
    formatter.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
    formatter.stringFromNumber(price)



}

enter image description here

What part of this is not working? I pasted it in to the Playground and it worked fine? What is your error? — Will M., May 08 '15 at 16:47
I added a screenshot...I'm in a new file and a separate class, is there something else I need to import? — GarySabo, May 08 '15 at 16:50
Oh, you probably need to operate on the formatter stuff in a function, not just sitting in the class. I posted some code below — Will M., May 08 '15 at 16:52

class CurrencyFormatter {

    var price = 100

    var formatter = NSNumberFormatter()

    init() {
        formatter.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
        formatter.stringFromNumber(price)
    }
}
