Parse Error in my first program - help!!

Hi Folks,

Just starting out to learn Objective-C - this is my first program in Xcode and I have typed is just as it says in the book but I keep getting this error on the NSSLog line: parse error before '@' token

code...

#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>


int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
.. .. // insert code here...
int firstnumber = 2;
int secondnumber = 10;
int total = 0;

total = firstnumber + secondnumber;
NSSLog (@"%d", total);


.. .. return0;


please help!!

many thanks

I'm not familiar with Objective C, what is the NSSLog (@ part do? The rest of the program looks ok, but you don't show a closing brace for the main() function.

Welcome to the forum, Paul! :cool:

Please use the advanced editor when you post code, and click on the # icon in the editors window to get a pair of code tags. Paste your code right between the code tags, and your code will be looking good (and keep any indentation, which is very important).

Are you sure you don't mean NSLog, instead of NSSLog?

Thanks for the reply Adak - Sorry that ..should have read NSLog.

As I am just starting out, all I know is that the Line is supposed to display the total to the console so you see it.

I missed copying the closing brace to my post but it is there after the return statement.

Many thanks for your welcome.

yes my mistake - thanks for that.
