Hi Mrunal,

You pass in an array by changing the method in TableCheck.m to:

-(void)addMenuItems:(NSArray*)menuItemsArray{
    for (MenuItem *menuItem in menuItemsArray) {
    [self.itemsOrdered addObject:menuItem.itemName];
    self.subtotal += menuItem.itemPrice;
    }
}

//Don't forget to change the method call in TableCheck.h to:

-(void)addMenuItems:(NSArray*)menuItemsArray;

//And create an array in your main.m, something like:

NSArray *menuItemsArray = @[grilledCheese, grilledCheese, grilledCheese, soupDuJour, soupDuJour, soupDuJour];

//Then the method call in main.m should read

[table1 addMenuItems:menuItemsArray];
