I’m stacked at following part

1.3\*\*\*\* This takes the text in the text field and passes it over to a new method named `save(name:)` . Xcode complains because `save(name:)` doesn’t exist yet. Add the following implementation below `addName(_:)` :

I wrote codes as instructed but Xcode still complains for ‘save(name:)’  
I’m not good at English,Where dose it mean exactly 'below 'addName (\_🙂 '?  
I wrote them at wrong place ?

It worked well before this part  
help me please

the save(name:) function should be below addName(\_🙂 function, not inside it.

So,

> ```
> func save(name: String) {
> ...
> }
> 
> ```

should be below:

> @IBAction func ついか(\_ sender: UIBarButtonItem){  
> …  
> present(alert, animated: true)  
> }

In this situation, I think you can check out the “final” project included in the Supporting Materials

Hello pantsz

I moved 'func save(name) ’ outside and below ‘func addName(ついか)’  
and it works.

but new problem,it maybe the thing you expected

\*\*_**Could not generate sources: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDEFoundation.IDETemplateParseError error 1.) [0]**_

what did you see (or not find) in my code ?  
What did you mean  
\*_ **the “final” project included in the Supporting Materials** _  
?

I appreciate your help with this situation.

In the book’s front page, click the “Download Supporting Materials” button, and you can find all the supporting materials divided by chapter, in each chapter’s folder, there is a “final” folder, which contains the “finished” project of that chapter. Comparing your code with that project may help when you have problems.

About the error, I am afraid I don’t know what cause it. In this situation, I will try to goggle the error message and hopefully find some information to solve it.

I think that my error caused the name of file.  
I’m a Japanese and named projects with our own letters.  
It seems not good for core data file so i’ve tried to rename it  
but I failed and lost my files.

so I’ll rebuild it in english letters,it must be a good lesson for me.

Hey, congratulations!

If you are just starting coding, you may want to check out the Swift Apprentice book first, it teach you the programming language, then try UIKit Apprentice or SwiftUI Apprentice(pick one of it). I read UIKit Apprentice when I was a beginner, I remember it cover a bit of CoreData too.

I never read SwiftUI Apprentice, but I think it is like UIKit Apprentice but using newer framework to build UI, they are for beginner too.

For this Core Data book, I think if you finished chapter 4 or 5 and understand everything, you can probably handle the DB of a simple app already.

can you recover your files afterwards?  
if my files disappeared, I wouldn’t react so calmly, uh
