Challenge task 2 of 2
Now switch to the implementation file and set the 'items' property to an array of two or more NSString objects using the 'arrayWithObjects' method of the NSMutableArray class.
My code (Line #4):
import "UITableViewController.h"
@interface InboxViewController : UITableViewController
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *items;
NSMutableArray *items = [arrayWithObjects:@"one",@"two"];
@end
Result:
Bummer! Compilation Error! Remember to use 'self' to reference your property and to set it as an NSMutableArray.

Roberts right, you need to switch to the .m file and I can't remember how I got to the right answer, but I found another solution here:-

self.items = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"one string", @"another string", @"third string", nil]

As the challenge says, you should change to the implementation file ( the .m file ) and there you should add the definition of the array.
NSMutableArray *items = [arrayWithObjects:@"one",@"two"];
