Use of undeclared identifier 'touchesBegan' HELP

[Joey3140]

We're having a problem with this block of code

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- (void) touchesBeganNSSet *)touches withEventUIEvent *)event {
if (gameState == kStateRunning) {
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
if (location.x < (self.view.bounds.size.width/2)) {
touchState = kLeftDown;
ballVelocity.x += 0.2;
}
else {
touchState = kRightDown;
ballVelocity.x +=0.2;
}
}
}

- (void)touchesEndedNSSet *)touches withEventUIEvent *)event {
touchState = kTOuchesEnded

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The error "Use of undeclared identifier 'touchesBegan' " occurs on the red line. Theres nothing in the TGWViewController.h that talks about 'touchesBegan' and we're not sure if there should be. Help please

What's the TGWViewController? Subclass of UIViewController?

Yes its a subclass of my UIViewController

That method is part of UIResponder from which UIViewController inherits. The definition looks fine so the problem could be somewhere else. Scan your code, particularly code before this method for syntax errors, maybe a missing bracket or semicolon. The IDE doesn't always mark the exact location of the problem.

must i scan the code manually? or is there an easier way?

When the IDE fails, yes, but in those cases the error is usually just above. Try commenting out the method just before it and see if the situation changes. If it does, the problem is in that method.

I second the suggestion from baja_yu that the problem may be from a missing bracket in the code above this point. If all brackets were matched before this point then it would be perfectly fine to begin the definition of a method at this point. Even if you misspelled the method name or got the parameters wrong, that would not produce the error you got. The error you reported is what happens when the compiler thinks you are still inside the previous method and that any identifier encountered must necessarily refer to something that was already defined. So I think it is very likely that brackets do not match. Use the IDE to find the matching brackets to the previous method and see if they are where you expected them to be.
