2,001 PointsI think with Objective-C, you may have to append a type to the number. For example:
float radius = 14.5f; where 'f' tells the compiler the type that will be held.
I believe you can also cast the number as well: float radius = (float)14.5;
I am not too sure about this so try it out and see what happens.

42,016 Pointswhile you are correct, you dont usually have to do this (unless you really want float precision). the float is just interpreted as a double if you omit the f. It makes no difference in this challenge though.
