Tab Bar Controller Problem

i have tried over and over again with this code challenge and still cant seem to get it. It tells me to check the preview but it doesn't list any errors the code i used was

  • (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad];

    NSArray *tabBarItems = self.tabBarController.tabBar.items;

    // Add your code below! The property for MainViewController's // tab bar controller is named 'tabBarController'. [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex: 2];

    UIBarItem *tab = [tabBarItems objectAtIndex:[self.tabBarController selectedIndex]];

}

thank you

Have you tried the following?

UIBarItem *tab = [tabBarItems objectAtIndex:2];

It's basically just telling you to use the same number.
