Xcode Error “Expression Result Unused”

Question

I'm getting an yellow error in my code and I'm not sure really why I'm getting it. Here is my code:

for (int lives = 5; lives > 0; lives--)
{
     self.HangmanStatus.text = @"Lives Left: %d", lives; //<-- Getting error here
}

Any help would be really appreciated, Thanks!

Answer 1

Is this your first time creating an NSString? You're not using any of the NSString methods used to create one.

Answer 2

The right syntax is:

self.HangmanStatus.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Lives Left: %d", lives];

Look at NSString reference .
