+#### **`saveSteps`**
+save a step count sample. a step count sample represents the number of steps during a specific period of time. a sample should be a precise as possible, with startDate and endDate representing the range of time the steps were taken in.
+
+`saveSteps` accepts an options object containing required *`value: number`*, *`startDate: ISO8601Timestamp`*, and *`endDate: ISO8601Timestamp`*.
+```javascript
+// startDate and endDate are 30 minutes apart. this means the step count value occured within those 30 minutes.
+let options = {
+	value: 100,
+	startDate: (new Date(2016,6,2,6,0,0)).toISOString(),
+	endDate: (new Date(2016,6,2,6,30,0)).toISOString()
+};
+```

+```javascript
+AppleHealthKit.saveSteps(options, (err, res) => {
+	if(this._handleHKError(err, 'saveSteps')){
