2 minutes, Stone just 2 minutes :-)

Sorry for the trouble, but can you step me through it more. Should I include the app delegate in the header like so

import "MIAppDelegate.h", and

then add the array as a property in MIAppDelegate.h. Then in the file I would import MIAppDelagate.h into i would put

AppDelegate *myAppDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; NSArray *myArray = appDelegate.theArray;

yes thats correct. thats exactly what you would need to do.

Would I include the code you posted in the implementation file.

yep. you could use that whereever you needed to access that array. alternatively you could create a property in the view controllers you needed access to it in and set it in viewDidLoad and only have to worry about it once instead of using that code each and every time you needed it

Can you tell me how to use the code you posted. Whenever I post it in the viewDidLoad in the implementation I receive two errors

1. Use of undeclared identifier 'myAppDelegate'
2. Use of undeclared identifier 'AppDelegate'

Again, thank you for all your help

you will have to change the class name of the app delegate depending on what your app delegate is named. it could be SRAppDelegate or something in which case oyu need to use

  SRAppDelegate *myAppDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
  NSArray *myArray = myAppDelegate.theArray;

Thank you that helped so much. But now I have another problem. I need the access the 'myArray' outside of the viewDidLoad method in the implementation, so that it could be used by the entire file. How would I go about doing that.

I mentioned earlier that "you could create a property in the view controllers you needed access to it in and set it in viewDidLoad and only have to worry about it once instead of using that code each and every time you needed it". so just add an NSArray property to your view controller and set that in view did load using something like:

  SRAppDelegate *myAppDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
  self.myArrayProperty = myAppDelegate.theArray;

then you can access throughout your controller using self.myArrayProperty or whatever you named it

Thank you so much. You have made my day. Is there anyway to contact you through Treehouse so that if I have another question you would see. This is because you are the most helpful, kind, and reply fast.

yeah you can just create a forum post and tag me in it by typing @ followed by my name (like on twitter). I can tag you like this: Steven Rayzman

So this is my code ```PFUser *newUser=[PFUser user]; newUser.username=username; newUser.password=password; newUser.email=email;

if ([self.facultyField.text intValue]!=73) { nil; } else{ [self.facultyList addObject:newUser.username]; } [newUser signUpInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) { if (error) { UIAlertView *alertView=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Sorry" message:[error.userInfo objectForKey:@"error"] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil]; [alertView show]; } else { [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES]; } }];

The facultyField is where a faculty member would enter the code 73. They then would be added to the facultyList array which is sourced from the AppDelegate.  However, whenever I attempt to check if the current user is part of the faculty list array, it always turns logs 'nil' even if the current user was made to be part of the facultyList array.
