UITableViewCell with an Image Code Challenge

Hi There, I am not sure what I am doing wrong in this code challenge. Any ideas?

UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] init]; /* Write your code below this line */ cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"];

Thanks!

technically that is correct, but the challenge wants to use the image property you created in the first part of the challenge, so it should look like this:

UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] init];
/* Write your code below this line */
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"];
cell.imageView.image = image;

you got a bit ahead of yourself. all it asks you to do is create an instance of UIImage, not assign the image to the tableView cells image view (that happens in task 2)

all you need for task 1 

UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] init];
/* Write your code below this line */

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"];
