Hello all:

For those of you who do not like answering elementary questions, you
might want to give this message a pass.

I am making my first foray into writing Cocoa applications, and I have
created a very simple class.  The header file looks like this:

   /* Chooser */

   #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

   @interface Chooser : NSObject
   {
   }

   - (NSString) *ChooseString:(int) IntVal;  //  If I comment out this
line, the error and first warning goes away
   @end


And the implementation file looks like this:


   @implementation Chooser
   /*  Commented out for debugging purposes 
   - (NSString) *ChooseString:(int) IntVal;
   {
   }
   */
   - (id) init 
   {
      self = [super init];
      if (self != nil) 
      {
         NSString * ListOfStrings = @"A stitch in time saves nine/No use
crying over spilt milk/A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush/Never
put of to tomorrow what can be done today/Do not judge a man until you
have walked a mile in his shoes";
         NSArray *StringList = [ListOfStrings
componentsSeparatedByString:@"/"];

      }
      return self;
   }

   @end

I am getting the following error/warning messages:

   error: parse error before '*' token
   warning: '@end' must appear in an @implementation context
   warning: unused variable 'StringList'

I am using "Learning Cocoa with Objective-C, 2nd Edition" as my
tutorial.  Looking at the examples provided by the author does not help
me figure out what I am doing wrong.  It is probably something very
simple, but being new to the language, I cannot yet see it.  I have two
questions:

1.)  If this is not the best place to ask such learning questions, can
you please point me to a better forum/mailing list?

2.)  Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

TIA!
