Bill, you're thinking like a Swift programmer. This is Objective-C. To create a variable with a primitive type and assign a value to that variable, you just need to use the following syntax:

TYPE NAME = VALUE;

In this particular case, TYPE is int, NAME is size, and VALUE is 13.

No worries! It's always interesting to see Swift and Objective-C syntax compared side-by-side.
