Courses Plus Student 933 PointsI know this is about a month old and didn't see an answer to this question here as I myself was stumped by this for a bit but anyways for this particular exercise I found that since the variable "thing" is declared as an "id" you can assign any value to it. Since it was declared you don't have to declare it again as was shown above. Just assign a the literal value to the variable.
id thing = nil;
thing = @4;

Make sure you are assigning a NSNumber literal, and check your syntax!
I am confused about literal...

id thing = nil; thing = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:4];
