Don't want to give away the answer so let me phrase as a fill in the blank:

UITableViewCell cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] init]; 
// Write your code below this line 
UIImage *image= [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"]; 
// You need to use set the image to the imageView property of cell
cell.imageView._____ = ________;

You are close except that the image is already defined in the previous line so need not define it again.

You have to set the "image" object to the "cell" object as in the video at the 4:00 minute mark.

cell.imageView.image= [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"];

I feel like like I need to understand this better because I'm really struggling. I'm still getting it wrong.

Hey Ryan,

I think there is some bug on the code challenge, cause when you hit this to the first question it goes right :

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder"];

But when you hit this to the second question it says its incorrect:

cell.imageView.image =image;

So you have to put exactly this code to solve the problem:

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"]; cell.imageView.image =image;

Don't know why but the lack of ".png" from the first answer makes the second answer incorrect.

Hope it could help you!

I thought that .png wasn't needed for file names... :P I got kind of caught up on all that

Had the same issue. @"placeholder" works for challenge 1, but you have to change this to @"placeholder.png" in order to pass challenge 2 :/
