Bummer! Remember to allocate and initialize the instance variable '_quotes' and return it from the method named 'quotes'.
@interface Quote : NSObject
// Add property here
@property (strong, nonatomic, readonly) NSArray *quotes;
- (NSString *) randomQuote;
@end
#import "Quote.h"
@implementation Quote
- (NSString *) randomQuote {
if (_quotes == nil){
_quotes = NSArray [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Happy, Happy, Happy", @"Your gullible", @"Say cheese", nil];
}
return _quotes;
}
@end

42,016 Pointsyour code is almost correct, with a few minor issues:
you added your code to the randomQuote method, you are supposed to implement a new method. called quotes that returns an NSArray. also, you had an extra NSArray out in front of your alloc call (NSArray [[NSArray alloc]) . remove that:
@implementation Quote
- (NSArray *) quotes {
if (_quotes == nil){
_quotes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Happy, Happy, Happy",
@"Your gullible", @"Say cheese", nil];
}
return _quotes;
}
- (NSString *) randomQuote {
return @"Some Quote";
}
@end
and remove the read only attribute from your property. it messes up the challenge and wont accept it with it in there:
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *quotes;
