Programming a background image > Code Challange > Part 2 of 3

Okay, so I have completed step 1, but I still am pretty confused with how to pass step 2 of 3.

Create an instance of UIImageView called 'imageView' using the previously created UIImage.

Here's my code: 

    UIView *catView = [[UIView alloc] init];

/* Write your code below this line */
/* First Step */
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"lolcat.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[catView addSubview:imageView];

/* Second Step (Wrong) */
UIImage *imageView = [UIImage imagedNamed:@"lolcat.png"];
UIImage *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:imageView];
[imageView addSubview:imageView];

I know this is probably very wrong, but it's my best guess. Will someone be so kind to teach me?

Also, I am concerned I might need help with step 3 if I can't get past step 2!

Thanks!

Kevin

@Sam Thanks Sam! However, I've already read that link and if I'm not mistaken, I think it only covers part 1 of 3 on that problem. If it covers part 2 please show me exactly where and call me crazy haha!

And how did you earn a Treehouse Scholarship Badge?! Cool!

Also, I tried using the Markdown Cheatsheet to put my code into a box, but for some reason it didn't work? User error I'm sure. Anyone's advice is appreciated.

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

You can see this thread for formatting code blocks with my preferred method, backticks.

The scholarship badge was from receiving one of Treehouse's awards. I'm very grateful and hope to showoff what I've learned very soon!
