Huh? NSMutableArray Code Challenge Part #3 (BlogReader Project)

Hey guys,

I've stumbled across an issue that I am having with this section of the code challenge.

The question would like me to remove the second object from your 'elements' array.

Here is my current code

NSMutableArray *elements = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:0];
[elements addObject:@"Helium"];
[elements addObject:@"Neon"];
[elements addObject:@"Argon"];

I go ahead and remove the following line (starting the count at 0 from helium, if that's what I'm meant to do):

[elements addObject:@"Argon"];

I go ahead and check the changes and it is incorrect. Could someone please, please, please give me some advice on this. I'm stumped on what to do as I'm still a little shaky with objective-c.

Thanking you in advance

Stu :)

Is it looking for 

[elements removeObjectAtIndex:1];

Rather than just deleting the creation of the index, this removes it programatically.

Hey Steve,

Of course, forgot about that little bugger. Thanks for that mate :)

or you can go around and do it this way. NSMutableArray *elements = [NSMutableArray array]; elements = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"Helium", @"Neon", @"Argon", nil]; [elements removeObjectAtIndex:1];
