Code Challenge: Declare another variable named 'planck' of type NSNumber and assign it the value 6.626.

I am stuck on this question and I believe I have the correct code however I keep getting the message that it is wrong.

This is what I have tried so far with no luck.

NSNumber *planck = [NSNumber numberWithDouble:6.626];

NSNumber *planck = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:6.626];

NSNumber *planck = @6.626;

NSNumber *planck; planck = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithFloat: 6.626];

Why won't any of these work?

Hi Ravid,

This is the final code that passed that challenge...

NSNumber *foxtrot = @24;
NSLog(@"foxtrot %@", foxtrot);
NSNumber *planck = @6.626;
NSLog(@"planck %@", planck);

Hi Ravid,

NSNumber *planck = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithFloat:6.626];

should have worked... can you pass me the challenge's url?

If he tries what you wrote it will work. He wrote:

NSNumber *planck; planck = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithFloat: 6.626];

I also tried using NSNumber *planck = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithFloat:6.626]; with failure.

I think this may be a glitch or bug in the engine. Please have a look at the following link

My answer is the same as Robert. It did not pass. Looks like a bug. Please fix, thanks
