165 PointsWhere should 'IBAction' be placed as the "return type"?
I am very new to this and unsure of the terminology.

57,712 PointsSorry, I just noticed you're in a code challenge ...
The return type is specified in parentheses prior to the method name. That's about as clear as mud, I know! The code you're after is:
-(IBAction)buttonPressed{
}
The method is called buttonPressed, when it is called/run/used (whatever) it runs the code within the curly braces - there's none there at the moment. When that code is run, the result should create an IBAction which is then returned by the method - that's the bit before buttonPressed - the method creates an 'answer' of the type IBAction.
I hope that makes sense!!
Cheers,
Steve.

57,712 PointsI'm new too - welcome to Treehouse; it's a great place to learn, I find.
What exactly are you after here? The IBAction is usually assigned by dragging from the storyboard into the header file, I think.
What are you trying to do and what's not working?
Cheers,
Steve.
