I can,t figure out whats wrong with my code.

Whats wrong with my code? I'm geting a bummer sign that says: Don't forget to add '@end' and make sure' Ruby' sub-classes 'Gem'.

@class Gem;

@interface Ruby : NSObject @property (nonatomic, strong) Gem *shape; @end

Which Task are you getting this error on? Are you sure you've placed the correct code into the correct files?

Remember that you can specify a superclass with the : symbol. Right now, you have NSObject as the superclass of Ruby. The task is asking you to make Ruby the subclass of Gem, which is the same thing as saying that Gem is the superclass of Ruby.

See below:

@interface Ruby : Gem
@end

Follow Kristen's answer for this :) In your original post, it seems you are also a bit ahead of yourself with the @property declaration. Task 2 will only require what Kristen has detailed.

I did what you said and I got this message: Bummer! Don't forget to add '@end' and make sure 'Ruby' subclasses 'Gem'. But whats wired is that I did put in the @end.
