Answer 1

Just before your dealloc method you have a spurious */ which needs removing.

Answer 2

enter code hereRight at teh end of your file you have the following:
// Override to support conditional rearranging of the table view.
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Return NO if you do not want the item to be re-orderable.
return YES;
}
*/
That last end comment block */ should be removed as it has no start block. leaving:
// Override to support conditional rearranging of the table view.
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Return NO if you do not want the item to be re-orderable.
return YES;
}
