Now switch to the implementation file. In the 'makeGuess' method, store the text value from 'numberField' in the variable named 'userNumber'.

Would this not work for part step 2? self.numberField.text = userNumber;

The equals operator assigns values on the right side into variables on the left side. So your line of code is assigning the value in userNumber to the numberField.text property. You just need to switch it around. :)

I entered:

NSString *userNumber = [self.numberField.text];

Given the code that we were working on in the previous lesson, I think this is correct. Am I missing something?

Took me a minute to find the error! The square brackets are used to indicate method calls, but in your code, you're accessing the text property directly with dot notation. Just get rid of the square brackets and it will work. :)
