1,087 PointsInitializing a dictionary with objects from an array
In the code challenge I am facing, the requirements are to initialize a NSMutable dictionary with objects previously created in an array. The challenge also suggests (requires) that I use the objectAtIndex method/function (sorry if this is not a method or function, it seems like it is to me) to do this and I am not sure how to go about this.
NSArray *shoeOrder = @[@"Charles Smith", @9.5, @"loafer", @"brown"];
NSMutableDictionary *shoeOrderDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

Use this function: (I have already plugged in the variable name for you)
[[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:shoeOrder];
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

5,071 PointsDid you ever find an answer for this challenge? I'm stuck on this one as well. I understand that the code below in the comment: (initWithArray) specifically calls the items from the NSArray shoeOrder to place them in the new mutable dictionary. What I'm stumped with is the "objectAtIndex" code that is calling the specific keys/value pairs. How'd you solve this for answering multiple keys/values in that mutable dictionary?
