Code returning incorrect, anybody have any ideas?

self.quotes = [@"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit, 
quitters never win"];

Hi hmm...is the "quitters never win" part on the same line as the "winners never quit"? looking at the way it's structured in your example above, it seems like you may have a break in which Xcode may think it's not a part of the array. Is the code compiling or do you get an error before it builds/runs?

self.quotes = [@"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit, quitters never win"];

the code is not for Xcode, it is for a challenge as part of the treehouse course, the code is not correct and the error reports are not very helpful

ah. ok. try this:

self.quotes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit, quitters never win", nil];

Make sure you're following the directions closely and providing the compiler with everything the quiz is asking you for. Your code appears to be correct, so I can't see the issue in what you have provided.
