Practicing using code pen. Whats wrong with this code.

Howdy Joey,

A few quick tips:

Firstly, it looks like your code area might not have encompassed the full area of code. Please be mindful of this next time you post, so the people on here can better help you. You might want to take some time to read up on Daring Fireball's Markdown Cheat Sheet.

Secondly, please add links to help us help you.

Thirdly, please post threads in the correct forum. This is a PHP question so it should be in the PHP forum.

Finally, based on what I am seeing, it looks like your code is lacking an opening curly braces on the top of the code.

Good luck, and welcome to Treehouse. ;)

EDIT: My bad. It looks like Objective-C, after editing your post and adding the appropriate mark down. Moved it to the iOS forum, all the more reason why you need to post in the correct forum. ;-P

Code pen only does HTML, CSS & JavaScript (and their associated pre-processors). It doesn't support server-side languages for that you need http://ideone.com/

Huh, after looking at this, it looked like Objective-C to me. Am I wrong?

Jessica Sideways - You're right, it's Objective-C.

I was responding to the forum post title "Practicing using code pen", but I may have gotten confused.

Thanks for the help. I don't know how I made a mistake like that. I appreciate your time.
