Hi Dennis,

Your current code attempts to declare dateFormatter twice. If you remove your second declaration of dateFormatter from your current code, you'll be able to get to Task 4.

NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = 60 * 60 * 24;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
// Add your code below
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval seconds = 60 * 60 * 24 * 10;
NSDate *futureDate = [today dateByAddingTimeInterval:seconds];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

Hope this helps!
