Hi there, right now I'm working on a relatively simple program and I think I need a second pair of eyes on this because I can't see why its not working. Basically, the program is skipping the if part of the if statement, whether the statement is true or not, and going straight to the else statement. So here's my program (if your wondering, its a tweet shortener)
@interface:
@implementation
main:
I've looked at the Mac OS Dev Center (or whatever you call it) and the documentation there, and couldn't find anything that contradicts anything I'm doing here...so I'm not sure what the problem is. The program returns no errors or warnings, so I have no way of knowing what's wrong, although knowing myself its probably something obvious that I'm just missing. Thanks guys!! You are always so much help!

Code:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface tweet : NSObject {

-(void) getTweet;
-(void) checkLength;

-(void) shorten: (NSMutableString *) s;
-(void) findAndReplace: (NSMutableString *) f;

And probably should be:
