not really sure why your code isnt working. Everything looks good. Here is the implementation file that worked for me:

#import "Quote.h"

@implementation Quote

- (NSString *) randomQuote {

    return @"Some Quote";
}

- (NSArray *)quotes {

    if (_quotes == nil) {

        _quotes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"a", @"b", @"c", nil];

    }

    return _quotes;

}

@end

your method looks right to me. this is what I passed it with

- (NSArray *)quotes {

    if (_quotes == nil) {

        _quotes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"a", @"b", @"c", nil];

    }

    return _quotes;
}

here is the .h file

@interface Quote : NSObject

// Add property here

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *quotes;

- (NSString *) randomQuote;

@end

this is what i was asked.. Switch to the implementation file and implement a 'quotes' method which will allocate and initialize the _quotes instance variable only if it is 'nil'. Initialize the array with any three strings.

this is the code i wrote and it said it is incorrect

• (NSArray *) quotes { if (_quotes == nil){ _quotes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"It is Certain", @"It is Decidedly so", @"The answer is in your heart", nil]; } return _quotes; }

still not passing through :/ my whole page looks like this... "

import "Quote.h"

@implementation Quote

• (NSArray *)quotes {

  if (_quotes == nil) {

  _quotes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"a", @"b", @"c", nil];
  

  }

  return _quotes; }

• (NSString *) randomQuote {

  return @"Some Quote"; }

@end"

hmm can i see your quote.h file please

thank you so much it is working now, for some reason it was because i had the property " readonly"
