Code Challenge: Coding a Background Image/ Problem with last line of code

I'm having trouble with the last line of code: I keep getting an error message which says that I should use "Add Subview" instead of "Insert Subview". Any idea what's wrong? Here is the code:

UIView *catView = [[UIView alloc] init];

/* Write your code below this line */ UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"lolcat.png"]; UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image]; [self.view addSubview:imageView];

try 

[catView addSubview:imageView]

self.view references a different view than catView does probably.

I just went back and redid the challenge and [catView addSubview:imageView]; worked

Try 

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"lolcat.png"];

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image];

[catView addSubview:imageView];
