@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.


}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.

Hi Karan,

You're simply missing the full stop at the end of your string literal, see the below.

self.quoteLabel.text = @"A stitch in time saves nine.";

Happy coding!
