Crystal Ball - Code Challenge > Creating a Data Collection > Create an NSArray Property

Glad you finished Antonio, I just logged in and saw the alert, try to be a bit more helpful next time

The directions are wrong in this task. Nowhere does it ask you to use "It is decidedly so"...

In task 3 you have to assign the quote to the label which is called 'quoteLabel' not 'quotes'.

Hi I just put in self.quoteLabel.text= [quotes objectAtIndex:2] it still seems to be crashing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here?

Hi Amit I had another go at it and I still got an error as well as a message stating to contact the help desk. This is the code I've inputted in self.quoteLabel.text= [self.quotes objectAtIndex:1]; If you could explain what I'm doing wrong that would be much appreciated

Awesome that sorted it out. Thanks Amit

Let me also add that I was trying to figure out the problem with my code for about an hour. The problem with my code was that I did not capitalize the 'L' in 'Life'. This caused my work to be wrong. Beware!

Thanks Angel great tip

I'm trying to do this task but I always get an error : I do the exact same thing : 1step - @property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *quotes; 2step - self.quotes = [NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit, quitters never win", Nil]; and then it says : "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.". I've lost half hour on this but cannot understand where I am doing wrong, I also re-watched the video. What am I doing wrong?

I finally solved it, I was missing to add the string "@"It is decidedly so", thanks to this post I found out the reason.

Maybe I missed out something but this is the description of the task :

Switch to the implementation file. Within the 'viewDidLoad' method allocate and initialize the 'quotes' property to the following quotes: 'Haters gonna hate', 'Life is simple, not easy', 'Winners never quit, quitters never win'.

I added the string and finished the task. :)

''' Stage 1@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray * quotes;

Stage 2 self.quotes= [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Life is simple, not easyIt is decidedly so", @"Winners never quit, quitters never win", Nil];

this is wrong-->Stage 3 self.quotes.text= [quotes objectAtIndex:2]; this is right-->Stage 3 self.quoteLabel.text = [self.quotes objectAtIndex:1];

'''

Thanks guys, this one has been really annoying me. Stupid me had written down my notes wrong :-\

Yeah I decided to put that in just to shake things up lol. Apologies if it seem confusing....

i am at stage 3 and the code below hits back an error, this is the same syntax from my program on Xcode so i don't understand where i'm going wrong with it.

    self.quoteLabel.text = [self.quotes objectAtIndex:1];

That actually looks right to me too Nawrouz. Maybe check to make sure you didn't change anything else by mistake?

I'm so done with stupid code challenge things, I'm going to cancel my course with tree house. Thats my best answer, I spent more times trying to figure out where is the issue can't find. Good luck guys.

Thank you so much for your replay Amit, I'm stuck on task 2, not sure how task 3 will be :)

self.quotes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Life is simple, not easy It is decidedly so", @"Winners never quit, quitters never win", Nil];

in stage1, when i tried :

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *quotes;

and it passed.. dunno if its a bug for it

:)

thanks Amit, I've learned a lot from you!(guys)

stage 3. self.quoteLabel.text=[self.quotes objectAtIndex:1]; where is the problem?

Can someone please add the final coding for all three stages? All the instructional errors involved in the question have made the forum really confusing to read. Thanks guys (still a great lesson btw).

Here is my answer for stage 2 and 3. It successfully passed the challenge.

// Stage 2
self.quotes= [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit, quitters never win", Nil];

//Stage 3
self.quoteLabel.text = [self.quotes objectAtIndex:1];
