Question

Xcode is telling me that I’m missing a ‘)’ but I can’t tell where it should go; it makes no sense to me. Have commented out the error message.

Can you look at the code and tell me where it’s wrong?

Thank you.

CalculatorViewController.m

#import "CalculatorViewController.h"

@interface CalculatorViewController()
@property (nonatomic) BOOL userIsInTheMiddleOfEnteringANumber;

@end

@implementation CalculatorViewController
@synthesize display;
@synthesize userIsInTheMiddleOfEnteringANumber;

- (IBAction)digitPressed:(UIButton *)sender 
{

    NSString *digit = [sender currentTitle];
    self.display.text = [self.display.text stringByAppendingString:digit];
    if (self userIsInTheMiddleOfEnteringANumber) {    // Expected ')'
        self.display.text = [self.display.text stringByAppendingString:digit];
    } else {
        self.display.text = digit;
        self.userIsInTheMiddleOfEnteringANumber = YES;
    }
}

@end

Actually, you’re missing brackets. Xcode just assumed you didn’t want them since you didn’t have an open bracket, so you got the error that you didn’t close your parentheses.

if([self userIsInTheMiddleOfEnteringANumber]) {
   ^                                       ^
