shouldn't these lines:
a = [[Fraction allocF] init];
b = [[Fraction allocF] init];
c = [[Fraction allocF] init];

read:
a = [[Fraction allocF] initwith 1:3];
b = [[Fraction allocF] initwith 4:5];
c = [[Fraction allocF] initwith 7:8];

the numbers are arbitrary.

For this example, we're just calculating the number of Fractions allocated.  Of course, if you wanted to actually use the fractions in your program, you would want to set the numerators and denominators.

Thank you very much!

Thanks, I was pulling my hair out on this one.  I missed the line;

Code: (Objective-C)

static int gCounter;

in the book and couldn't figure out what the error was.  Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
