Print the result of the 'planck' variable using NSLog where the output should look like the following: "planck 6.626". (Remember to use the '%@' format specifier when printing the value of 'planck')
my code was NSNumber *planck = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:6.626]; NSLog(@"planck = %@", planck);
and it says Make sure you are passing a NSString to NSLog. Also, make sure you have the correct format options. %@ is used for objects.

For example, NSString* formattedNumber = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.3f", plank]; NSLog(@"%@", formattedNumber);

2,486 PointsYou are trying to NSLog a float (plank) using the wrong format specifier. %f is for floats. For strings you use%@. Change to %f if you want to print plank.
