And to be clear, that means the temporary variable is getting used where the programmer probably thought the instance variable was being used. This is a common source of bugs, so it's usually best to avoid naming collisions between temps and ivars, and that's why the system is warning you about it.

It's a very thoughtful system:)

What does "is shadowed" mean?

'shadowed' means that you use a temporary variable 'sortbybank' in House>>#report4a when somewhere in House or its superclasses is there is an instance variable of the same name. (same for array).
