the challenge is a bit confusing and poorly worded, what its really asking is for you to modify the itemSize property of your layout variable which can be done like so:

layout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(x, y);

where x and y are the width and height you want to set the size to.

I noticed you dont have many iOS points. This is an advanced project that requires a good understanding of objective c and iOS development. You should probably start with this deep dive instead

layout itemsize - CGSizeMake (100.0,100.0 ) or (100,100) would not work.

layout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(100, 100); should work just fine

thank you and i will start asking better questions in more of a profession manner.

oh no your question was fine. The challenge's question is the one thats confusing, not your post : ). Sorry, ive edited my answer to say the challenge is confusing, not the question. The challenge asks you to change the size, but what its really wanting you to change is the itemSize

its working, thank you very much i been working on this for a couple hours this morning.

like I said, if you are having a lot of difficulty with this and have no prior iOS experience I would recommend doing this deep dive first
