42,016 Pointsok it looks like you need to capitalize Shape. Class names usually start with a capital letter and if you followed along in the video your class is most likely named Shape. so try
Shape *shape = [[Shape alloc] init];
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsit means your shape class doesnt have a method called alloc in its interface. Is this for a treehouse challenge or video? if so please provide a link
