Code Challenge: Signing Up New Users Part 2 - PFUser

In our view controller below we want to sign up new users for our app. In the signup method, start by capturing the username and password from two UITextField properties: 'usernameField' and 'passwordField'. Store the values in the properties 'username' and 'password'.

-I've tried everything to solve this to no available. Please help.

#import "SignupViewController.h"
#import <Parse/Parse.h>

@implementation SignupViewController

- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
    NSString *username = [self.usernameField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
    NSString *password = [self.passwordField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
}

@end

You are almost right, instead of creating local variables username and password you need to assign them to the properties named username and password, which means on the left you will be using self.username and self.password.
