Heyy i am having a little trouble ( that is causing so much stress :P ) on the code challenge for building the crystal ball app, it is the last part of understanding views and view controllers titled " CGRect and frame ".. i am asked to "Assign the following coordinates to showQuote button: X: 100, Y: 250, Width: 280, Height: 44" and my error message is "Make sure you are setting the frame property of the button named showQuote!"...
the code i have been using is the following..
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewDidAppear:animated]; CGRect frame = self.showQuote.frame; self.showQuote.frame = CGRectMake(frame.origin.x, 250, frame.size.width, frame.size.height); }

self.showQuote.frame = CGRectMake(frame.origin.x, 250, frame.size.width, frame.size.height); }
The challenge states: Assign the following coordinates to showQuote button: X: 100, Y: 250, Width: 280, Height: 44"
CGRectMake takes 4 arguments: x position, y position, width and height. The challenge gives you an x position, y position, width and height.
try
self.showQuote.frame = CGRectMake(x,y,width,height);
but replace the x,y,width height with actual numbers

self.showQuote.frame = CGRectMake(100,250,280,44);
you dont need
CGRect frame = self.showQuote.frame;
