iOS Blog Reader Issues (Code Challenges)

Is anyone else finding the final code challenges extremely difficult? I've completed all sections so far fairly well but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to solve the code challenges for the last 'Adapting Data for Display' challenge, and all of the 'Viewing A Web Page'.

When I get the first challenge wrong I get the message

'Make sure you created an application with the correct method, and check your syntax!'

This doesn't give me much to go on, I don't know if it's a few lines of code of the entire lot. I tried to add the pieces of code Amit uses in his video but I'm completely lost.

Please help, I'm so frustrated that I'm unable to finish this final section.

Hi Amit,

Sorry, I was getting quite frustrated but I managed to complete all the code challenges with the exception of the final challenge, I seem to have forgotten how to do this and can't find an answer:

"Convert the 'futureDate' object to a string object named 'dateString'."

NSDate *today = [[NSDate alloc] init];

NSTimeInterval secondsForTenDays = 60 * 60 * 24 * 10; NSDate *futureDate = [[NSDate alloc] init]; futureDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:secondsForTenDays];

dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/YYYY"];
