UITextFields code

This is my code and I can't find anything wrong. Computer says to make sure setting both username and password properties! NSString *username = [self.usernameField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];

NSString *password = [self.passwordField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];

the task states: Store the values in the properties 'username' and 'password'.. you are not storing them in those properties, you are creating 2 NSString variables and storing them in those. you need to access the properties using self

- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {

self.username = [self.usernameField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];

self.password = [self.passwordField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];

}
