iOS Background image code challenge help

I dont understand what is wrong with my code here:

UIImage *background = [UIImage imageNamed: @"background"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:@"background"];

The question is asking to fix the previous code and set imageView to an object Image

It simply means that you need to use the UIImage that you just created,like this:

UIImage *background = [UIImage imageNamed: @"background"];

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:background];

In your second like you were trying to pass a string (@"background"), but it needed your UIImage *background variable.

Cheers :D
