Looks like you are trying to lazy initialize an array. So in the getter method you initialize the array if it has not already been created. I'm also new to programming so I could be wrong but if not, I would do it like this.

-(NSArray *)_predictions { if (!_predictions) _predictions = [[NSArray alloc] initWith.... //Don't forget to return it. return _predictions; }

Please let me know if this was any help at all =) Cheers
