you need to be in the implementation file, not the interface file. You need to place your code inside the method you implemented in task 1

#import "THViewController.h"

@implementation THViewController

- (IBAction)buttonPressed {
//your code needs to go here
}
@end

remember that to assign a string to a label you would need to use something like

self.labelName.text = @"some text";
