3,582 PointsLet's create a base class called 'Gem'. In 'Gem.h' define a class named 'Gem' which is a subclass of 'NSObject'.
What is wrong with my code @property(nonatomic, strong) Ruby*ruby. It says did you declare a variable called Ruby?

42,016 Pointslooks like you forgot a semicolon after your property declaration:
@property(nonatomic, strong) Ruby*ruby;
it also unconventional not to put a space between the class name and the *.
@property(nonatomic, strong) Ruby *ruby;
is a more conventional pointer declaration
Wren Howell
3,582 PointsI still get Bummer! Did you declare the 'Ruby' interface in 'Ruby.h'? I dont do anything to the Gem.h file right?

42,016 Pointsare you on task 3? which task are you on
Wren Howell
3,582 Pointstask 2
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsyou need to switch to Ruby.h. task 2 states: Now let's define a subclass of Gem named Ruby. Switch over to 'Ruby.h' and create a class named 'Ruby' which is a subclass of 'Gem'.
class definitions generally look like this:
@interface ClassName : SuperClass
@end
so for your Ruby class, the classname is Ruby and it needs to inherit from your Gem class.
Wren Howell
3,582 Pointsso @interface Ruby *ruby?
or is it @interface Ruby: Gem?
Wren Howell
3,582 Pointsnever mind got it
Wren Howell
3,582 Pointswhat about part three? I am confused about inheritance
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsyou need to switch to Bling.h and add a property of the class Ruby named ruby. you had it in your original post
@property(nonatomic, strong) Ruby *ruby;
Wren Howell
3,582 Pointsbecause I thought we enter @property (strong, nonatomic) Ruby*ruby;
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsyes. enter that in bling.h
@interface Bling : NSObject
@property (strong, nonatomic) Ruby*ruby;
@end
