Build a Self-Destructing Message iPhone App Quiz Help!

Sorry, I need help! I'm stuck at one of the first quiz that queries how to change tabs programmatically.. what's wrong in my code??

#import "MainViewController.h"
#import "UITabBarItem.h"

@implementation MainViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSArray *tabBarItems = self.tabBarController.tabBar.items;

    // Add your code below! The property for MainViewController's 
    // tab bar controller is named 'tabBarController'.

  [self.tabBarController.tabBar setSelectedItem:[tabBarItems objectAtIndex:2]];    
}

@end

Thanks in advance! A.

Thanks! It Works! I was confusing setSelectedIndex to setSelectedItem
