[SOLVED]

OK, so I know this is probably a very dumb question, but I am very new to programming, well computers in general... but I am catching on fairly quickly. I have run across these error messages and for the life of me can not figure out why I am getting them. I have not changed anything in my programming "style" or anything like that. I am using X-Code 3.0 and writing a very simple command tool following the iPhone Programming class from Stanford U. This is the error message and code I am getting from a custom class implementation.
-(id)description
{
NSString *descriptionString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat: @" Hello I am a %f sided polygon (aka a %@) with angles of %f degrees (%f radians).", (self.numberOfSides), (self.name), (self.angleInDegrees), (self.angleInRadians)];

return descriptionString;
}

I know this is not at all a sophisticated program or something that should be worried about but I am trying to learn and have spent hours scratching my head at this... I get three error messages: "Error: syntax before '@' token" and "Error: syntax at 'OTHER' token"(this one I get twice). Any help would be appreciated very much, and I will keep trying to solve this mystery myself. Thank you!

Ok, well I fixed the problem. I do not know how but all I did was delete the method in both the header file and the implementation file and re-wrote it and it built fine with no errors or warnings.

Hello bullrider

Glad you found the solution.

A couple of tips to help you get faster and better responses by following "netiquette". Netiquette has evolved to communicate faster and better.

Now you have found the solution, please mark your thread solved by editing the first message and prefixing the title with [SOLVED].

It would have been helpful if you indicated the programming language in the original title and if you had given the program text in [CODE] tags so it formatted prettily. [CODE] tags are conveniently available via the # icon.

I especially 2nd putting the language in the post title -- the programming forum encompasses too many languages to force us to guess which you are using. It's likely you'll get more people looking at your post also.

Please use the Thread Tools to add a "solved" tag to your title, please don't just edit "[SOLVED]" into the post body.

Thanks.
