This warning pops up when you're assigning, as the warning says, a value of one type to a variable of another type. Having not yet seen your header file, I can't be 100% certain of this, but the warning strongly indicates that your "age" instance-variable (or ivar) is in fact *not* typed as "int", but as some kind of pointer, perhaps as int* for example. But it's hard to say without seeing your header file (I'm sure you understand why we can't just take your word for it, and why we need to see the code verbatim).

Hi there,

I'm relatively new to the objC language, that's why I would be very happy if you could help me.

The compiler gives me the following build warning (the code compiles and I can run my app just fine, but I'm curious to know which line of code causes this behavior): "Assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast". The error occurs in the line "age = newAge"... I declared age as an int in the .h file.

CODE:

#import "Person.h"

@implementation Person

@synthesize lastName, firstName, age;

-(id)initWithFirstName:(NSString *)fName name:(NSString *)lName age:(int)newAge;

{
if (self = [super init]) {

lastName = lName;

firstName = fName;
age = newAge; // ERROR occurs here!
}
return self;

}

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
