Hi guys,

I picked up the book Programming in Objective-C by Stephen Kochan. For the lesson in Chapter 2 he says to define a class called Points. When I define the class in the following code I get the error error: 'Point' redeclared as a different kind of symbol'. When I change Point to a lowercase point xCode will then compile the program. Is uppercase Point reserved in the imported Object.h? Here's a snip of the beginning of the code:

#import <stdio.h>
#import <objc/Object.h>
//------------@interface section---------------

@interface Point: Object
{
int xCord;
int yCord;
}
-(void) print;
-(void) setX: (int) x;
-(void) setY: (int) y;

@end


I just want to clarify my assumption.

Thanks,

Brad

'Point' is defined in Carbon, so if you're using the standard Xcode project, Point is getting defined in the precompiled headers, and so you've got a name conflict.

Cool, thanks!
