Assume we're creating an app that tells us random quotes. We have a label in our view that's connected to a ViewControll

Assume we're creating an app that tells us random quotes. We have a label in our view that's connected to a ViewController.h file using an IBOutlet. We also have a button connected to a quoteButtonPressed:(id)sender action. When we tap the button, we want to show the user a quote. Assign the string "A stitch in time saves nine." to the quoteLabel.

ViewController.h 
#import "UIViewController.h"
#import "UILabel.h"


@interface ViewController: UIViewController

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *quoteLabel;

- (IBAction)quoteButtonPressed;

@end
ViewController.m 
#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.


}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (IBAction)quoteButtonPressed {

    //Add your code below!

}
