What's wrong with the syntax?

It says create a string as instructed, NSString *myString = @"Crystal Ball";
This is what I did, exactly the same. but the compiler tells myString has invalid value. What was wrong? Thanks

the task is "Create a NSString variable named 'myString' with the value 'Fun with Objective-C'." you named your string correctly but gave it the wrong value. It needs to have a value of "Fun with Objective-C" not "Crystal Ball"
