[Help] Slider to increase text size

I have a simple app I'm trying to make, and need some assistance (I'm new )

Heres what I have so far:

ViewController.m

Code:

@implementation ViewController
@synthesize textSize;

-(IBAction)hello:(id)sender{
    label.text =@"Sexy Beast ;)";
}
-(IBAction)food:(id)sender{
    label.text =@"Bacon :P";
}
-(IBAction)size:(id)sender{
   // NSString *textSize = [sender value:slider];
}

ViewController.h

Code:

@interface ViewController : UIViewController{
    IBOutlet UILabel *label;
    IBOutlet UISlider *slider;
}

@property (nonatomic ,retain) IBOutlet UILabel *textSize;

-(IBAction)hello:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)food:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)size:(id)sender;

@end

In general, I just want to get the slider value, and use that to set the size of the text label.

 

I'm getting a SIGABRT error now :/

It's saying local declaration of 'text size' hides instance variable.

 

Such a rookie mistake on my part, sorry!
Glad you understood without my posting the exact error.

I got rid of that error by deleting the @synthesize and the declaration in the header.
However, when I go to move the slider in the simulator, it still gives this:

Code:

@autoreleasepool {
        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }

Thread 1: Program received signal: "SIGABRT" 

The second line of the code is what is highlights and gives the SIGABRT error. (It's in the main.m file)

I should probably ask this. How do I link the slider to the variable textSize? Is there anything I should drag onto the view controller and connect with the storyboard? If I don't theres no error but also no text size change. If I drag from 'Value Changed' onto the view controller and connect it to 'size: ' it returns this error when I simulate and touch the slider. Sorry guys, fairly new to this

 

Nope I took that line out, and I took out the connection in Xcode. I'll just put what I have now.

ViewController.h:

Code:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController{
    IBOutlet UILabel *label;
    IBOutlet UISlider *slider;
}

-(IBAction)hello:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)food:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)size:(id)sender;

@end

ViewController.m

Code:

#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController

-(IBAction)hello:(id)sender{
    label.text =@"Sexy Beast ;)";
}
-(IBAction)food:(id)sender{
    label.text =@"Bacon :P";
}
-(IBAction)size:(id)sender{
    float textSize = [sender floatValue];
    label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:textSize];
}

 

Well now there isn't any errors, but it doesn't work at all.

I'm just not seeing how this:
float textSize = [sender floatValue];

gets the value of the slider? it doesn't even make reference to the slider at all.
I think I just don't know exactly what to connect in the story board interface.

EDIT: I think I have everything right now :/
it just gives that SIGABRT error every time I change the value of the slider.

 

Code:

UISlider *slider = (UISlider *)sender;

I don't know where you'd put that.

I have no clue how to step through debug :/
And I get the error when I change the slider value.
I know the error occurs here

Code:

label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:textSize];

It can't change it or won't for some reason.

 

Finally found the error:

Code:

I don't know any kind of debugging
This is my first project in Xcode. I'm doing it to learn a little bit.
My understanding of the code has majorly increased by doing this btw ;D

 

I used this to make the two buttons:

I'm doing the slider on my own, I wanna learn something and had the idea myself
