14,232 PointsHi Kelvin, make sure you have NSString before you declare the name of the string, have a space BEFORE the * then the name of the string after the * without a space like: NSString *myString
Then a space, an equal sign (=), another space then the name of your string surrounded by DOUBLE QUOTES (") and prefixed with an @ symbol, then end it with a semicolon (;) so it looks like:
NSString *myString = @"Fun with Objective-C";
(remember to include the semi-colon)
Hope this helped - Tom
