HELP CGRECT and Frame

We are back to working on the random quotes app and have created a button property called showQuote. We need to place this button towards the bottom of the screen. Assign the following coordinates to showQuote button: X: 100, Y: 250, Width: 280, Height: 44

```#import "THViewController.h"

@implementation THViewController

  • (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad];

    // Add your code below! The property for THViewController's // button is named 'showQuote'. self.showQuote.frame = CGRectMake(100, 250, 280, 44)
    (IBAction)buttonPressed { self.showQuote.text = @"YES"; }

@end```

self.showQuote.frame = CGRectMake(100, 250, 280, 44)

you are missing a semi colon at the end of that statement. Fix that and see if it works

Stone, I am actually struggling with this exact problem. I have entered '''objective-c self.showQuote.frame=CGRectMake(100, 259, 280, 44); ''' but it is telling me i need to set the 'frame property of the button.'(which is inside of viewDidLoad) (note: I do not have the IBAction in mine, but did try it with that.
