I'm having a bit of a confusion on how to assign a value to a BOOL pointer? Here's my code: - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation { self.latitude.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", newLocation.coordinate.latitude]; self.longitude.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", newLocation.coordinate.longitude]; if (!initialBroadcast) { initialBroadcast = YES; // Where I'm having troubles [broadcastTimer fire]; }; } The compiler keeps telling me this: Incompatible integer to pointer conversion assigning to 'BOOL *' (aka 'signed char *') from 'BOOL' (aka 'signed char') . I'd appreciate a clarification on this since I am a nubski. UPDATE As many of you have pointed out, I am apparently abusing the declaration of a BOOL by using a pointer for it. To be honest, I don't know why I used it, but since I'm new to Objective-C it must have worked for what I was doing so it stuck. Anyway, I have since changed the declaration to: // In .h @interface ... { BOOL initialBroadcast; } @property BOOL initialBroadcast; // In .m @synthesize initialBroadcast; So, am I on the right track now?
