The error message is saying I am not addressing the text aspect of quoteLabel. Anybody got any ideas?

import "THViewController.h"

@implementation THViewController

// Add your code below

  • (IBAction) buttonPressed { @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *quoteLabel; self.quoteLabel.text = @"The road to success is always under construction"; }

@end

outlet (and properties in general) declarations do not go in implementations. they go inside interface declarations. remove the outlet declaration from the buttonPressed method. You can assume the outlet is already declared in a header file. you dont need to add it yourself.

#import "THViewController.h"

@implementation THViewController

// Add your code below
- (IBAction) buttonPressed {

  self.quoteLabel.text = @"The road to success is always under construction";
}

@end
