UIalert view not working

I am new to objective C and I am in a position where I need to create an iPhone App Really quickly , I am using XCode 4.2

I want to have a pop up and I am using this code :

in the .h I have

#import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h>
#import <AddressBookUI/AddressBookUI.h>

and in the .m file

UIAlertView *alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Confirmation" 
                                                     message:@"confirmed" 
                                                    delegate:self 
                                           cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" 
                                           otherButtonTitles:nil,nil];
                          [alert show];

the code shows me a building error "Expected identifier" , did I forget something ?

Thanks

You have two errors :

->[<-[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Confirmation" message:@"confirmed" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil->,nil<-];

delete them and just write :

[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Confirmation" 
                           message:@"confirmed" 
                          delegate:self 
                 cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" 
                 otherButtonTitles:nil];

If you are not using ARC, don't forget to release [alert release] after [alert show] (or autorelease at the end of the init)

You have an extra open bracket '['

you need something like this:

UIAlertView *alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Confirmation" 
                                                     message:@"confirmed" 
                                                    delegate:self 
                                           cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" 
                                           otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease];
                          [alert show];

Note the autorelease] code I added, this way you set to autorelease the UIAlertView and fix the extra open bracket.
