Error: incompatible types in assignment
cocoa, compiler-errors, objective-c
Solution
`buttonRect` is declared as a `CGRect *` — that is, a pointer to a CGRect. Remove the splat and all will be well.
Problem
I am writing some objective-C code and i can't figure out why this does not work: ``` buttonRect = CGRectMake(0,0,100.0,100.0);//error:incompatible types in assignment CGRect newFrame = CGRectInset(buttonRect, -0.2, -0.2);//error:incompatible type for argument 1 of CGRectInset button.frame = newFrame; ``` buttonRect is a CGRect defined as an instance variable in my class, and button is a UIButton also defined as an instance variable. Why is this not working? My header file: ``` // // MyViewController.h // HelloWorld // // Created by RCIX on 7/10/09. // Copyright 2009 __MyCompanyName__. All rights reserved. // #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface MyViewController : UIViewController { UITextField *textField; UILabel *label; NSString *string; UIButton *button; CGRect *buttonRect; } @property (nonatomic, assign) CGRect *buttonRect; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *textField; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *label; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *button; @property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *string; - (IBAction)helloButtonDown:(id)sender; - (IBAction)helloButtonUp:(id)sender; @end ```
