Local declaration of of 'add' hides instance variable?

I get this warning with my code and here it is the pos variable is declared in the .h file

    float add = 20;
    NSLog(@"%f",pos);
    pos = add + pos + 35;
    NSLog(@"%f",pos);

If "add" is declared in your header (.h) file, then you don't need to qualify it with "float" in your implementation file. (And you shouldn't, that's why you'll get that error.)

Instead, as long as you have in your header file,

float add;

then you only have to make your code say:

    add = 20;
    NSLog(@"%f",pos);
    pos = add + pos + 35;
    NSLog(@"%f",pos);
