Resizing an Image Task 2

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. Here is my code:

//Task 2:Line missing here! How do we draw the image in the resized context?
[self.image drawInRect:newRectangle];
UIImage *resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

I put in the

[self.image drawInRect:newRectangle];

Any tips on what I am doing wrong, or where I can find how to do this?

i just tried what you did and passed. here is the .m:

#import "LatergramViewController.h"

@implementation LatergramViewController

- (IBAction)upload {

        if (self.image != nil && self.caption.length != 0) {
      CGSize newSize = CGSizeMake(320.0f, 480.0f);
      CGRect newRectangle = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320.0f, 480.0f);
      UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);

      // Task 2: Line missing here! How do we draw the image in the resized context?
        [self.image drawInRect:newRectangle];
      UIImage *resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
      UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

      // Rest of code omitted for brevity!

    }
}

I had the {} from the if statement end at the end of

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);
