74 PointsCoding Error, IOS, "creating a property"
This is my direct code, i have no idea why it is not succeeding when it's trying to build, if you could tell me what character is wrong, it would be very helpful!

// CrystalBall

#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
@end
@implementation ViewController
@synthesize PredictionLabel;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
predictionArray = [ [NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"It is certain","It is decidedly so" ,@"All signs say YES",
@"the stars are not aligned"
@"My reply is no",
@"It is doubtful",
@"Better not tell you now",
@"Concentrate and ask again",
@"Unable to answer now", nil];
}
- (void)viewDidUnload
{
[self setPredictionLabel:nil];
[super viewDidUnload];
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
//Return Yes for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
- (IBAction)ButtonPressed:(UIButton *)sender {
self.PredictionLabel.text = [predictionArray objectAtIndex:3];
}
@end

Treehouse Guest Teacher@Landon have you defined predictionArray as a property in your interface?

849 PointsIt would be really helpful if you copy and paste the error that xCode is showing.
This line here:
predictionArray = [[NSArray ...
Would be instead:
self.predictionArray = [[NSArray ...
Because this property belongs to the implementation of ViewController, and we specify it with "self".
In this line:
"It is decidedly so"
you forgot to include the "@" sign, like this:
@"It is decidedly so"
In this line here:
self.PredictionLabel.text = [predictionArray objectAtIndex:3];
you wrote "PredictionLabel" and not "predictionLabel". The difference is that the first letter shouldn't be capitalized. Also, instead of "predictionArray", it's "self.predictionArray". The result:
self.predictionLabel.text = [self.predictionArray objectAtIndex:3];
These are the only mistakes I could see in the code, but I think I may have missed some of them. I'm just a beginner, if someone who has more experience with Objective-C can help, that would be really great.
