Printing a Variable in Objective C

Question

I am trying to print the word that is being "spoken" by this app onto the console so I can store it in a variable for later use. The function is like so and I am trying to print the content within the variable "word". How would I go about this?

- (void)speak:(NSString *)words {
  if ([synth isSpeaking]) {
      NSLog(words);
    return;
  }
  AVSpeechUtterance *utterance =
      [AVSpeechUtterance speechUtteranceWithString:words];
  utterance.voice = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithLanguage:@"en-US"];
  utterance.rate = 0.75 * AVSpeechUtteranceDefaultSpeechRate;
  [synth speakUtterance:utterance];

}

I have tried to add the NSLog(words) in there, as I thought that would be the way to approach this. However, I get an error and that does not work. I have added it in the code block above just for clarity in what I have done.

use `- (void)speak:(NSString *)words { NSLog(@"%@", words); }` — Anbu.Karthik, Sep 04 '17 at 06:16
Please, when posting a question about an error, please include the complete and exact error in your question and point out the exact line causing the error. — rmaddy, Sep 04 '17 at 06:17
@rmaddy my apologies. The error happens in line 3 - NSLog(words) and it says "Format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure)" — Veejay, Sep 04 '17 at 06:21
Please see the @NehaGupta comment. This is correct format of NSLog — Saurabh Jain, Sep 04 '17 at 06:22

Please take the time to post proper code. Objective-C is case-sensitive. – rmaddy Sep 04 '17 at 06:20

is not `nslog` it is `NSLog` – Anbu.Karthik Sep 04 '17 at 06:21
