Question

I’m new to Objective-C here, and still learning its syntax, so I’m experimenting some things… and I’m trying to understand how the #import statement works when it comes to importing a file inside a folder.

I have a main function inside of a file and in the same directory of my main function contains a folder for a class, inside that folder I am trying to import a header file for that class.

I’m trying to import it like this:

#import "Person/person.h"

And I believe that should work but instead Xcode fires off a error saying it can not find the file/directory.

The folder that contains person.h is in the same directory as my main function’s file.
I still don’t understand what’s wrong with that piece of code, if someone can tell me the proper way to do this it would help a lot, thanks!

Answer 1

Try #import "person.h", the folder isn’t really. It is a group, something like a virtual folder in the project, that let you organize visually your project files.
