I must be missing something in the section as I can't get this bit of code to work. The question from the code challenge & my suggested solution are copied below. The code from PFUser *newUser is failing the compiler.
I'm not sure what's wrong with it as it looks identical to the code in the video prior.
Any help gratefully received!
Steve.
"Next, create a new PFUser variable named 'newUser' and initialize it using the 'user' class method from PFUser. Set the 'username' and 'password' properties of this user using the properties you just set."
- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
self.username = self.usernameField.text;
self.password = self.passwordField.text;
PFUser *newUser = [PFUser user];
newUser.username = username;
newUser.password = password;

- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
self.username = self.usernameField.text;
self.password = self.passwordField.text;
PFUser *newUser = [PFUser user];
//where is this username variable defined?
newUser.username = username;
//where is this password variable defined?
newUser.password = password;
the variables username and password are undefined so thats why you are getting an error.
you are not setting the username and password of the newUser object to your username and password properties
you need to use the properties like so:
PFUser *newUser = [PFUser user];
newUser.username = self.username;
newUser.password = self.password;
