Hello!

I have a trouble in 21.2 exercise. In that exercise I build Fraction calculator. I have 9 buttons and math actions. When I press any digit (either 1,2,3 or any else) on iOS Simulator it generates an error:

    2012-08-05 15:09:05.026 Fraction_Calculator[834:f803] -[ViewController digit5]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6843e00
2012-08-05 15:09:05.029 Fraction_Calculator[834:f803] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[ViewController digit5]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6843e00'
*** First throw call stack:
(0x14b5022 0xeb5cd6 0x14b6cbd 0x141bed0 0x141bcb2 0x14b6e99 0x1b14e 0x1b0e6 0xc1ade 0xc1fa7 0xc1266 0x403c0 0x405e6 0x26dc4 0x1a634 0x139fef5 0x1489195 0x13edff2 0x13ec8da 0x13ebd84 0x13ebc9b 0x139e7d8 0x139e88a 0x18626 0x28ad 0x2815)
terminate called throwing an exception

What that means: “unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6843e00” and “‘-[ViewController digit5]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6843e00’“.

Here is my code of that program:

ViewController.h

Code: Objective-C

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "Calculator.h"

@interface ViewController : UIViewController

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *display;

-(void) processDigit: (int) digit;
-(void) processOp: (char) theOp;

    This might be happening if you haven’t set the tag value for each button. For example, for button 4 the tag should be 4 and so on:
