Hi,
I have been attempting to program the iPhone and am relatively new to it. I was trying to complete the assignment 2A on Stanfords CS193P website. It seems to run fine until I tried creating the PolygonShape class and using the class to run its methods. The error I keep getting is segmentation fault and I have no idea how to solve it. I tried to copy and paste code that works into that particular method (PrintPolygonInfo) and it still says the same. I'm appending the polygon class files as well as the header and implementation files for the project. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks a lot,
Adheer

Hmm, here's another lesson for you.

I'm not going to debug your code, you are. To do so, you're going to use the debugger. The debugger will stop when you have a segmentation fault. Run it there. When it stops, it will tell you where it stopped.

Segmentation fault generally means something to do with references are not correct - either you don't have one yet, or it got stale and you tried to use it again. Where that's happening will be a hint as to what kind of problem you have.

(next time, when you post code, please use the code wrapper tool in the editor - it looks like the # sign).
