I thought variable types includes array, dictionary, float, etc. and that "id" was used in the "for" method. How do I declare a variable w/ type being "id"???

you dont use the * since variables of type id are already pointers.

1,837 PointsI tried "id *thing = @"nil"" but it doesn't work.. Still a bit confused.
William Baker
2,485 PointsYou are setting the NSString "Nil". What you need to do is set nothing or = nil;
