What am i doing wrong? Its killing me!

Now it's time to display a quote from our 'quotes' array in the 'quoteLabel'. Assign the second item from the 'quotes' array to the text property of the 'quoteLabel'. Hint: use the 'objectAtIndex' method.

import "THViewController.h"

@implementation THViewController

  • (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad];

    self.quotes = @[@"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit", @"Quitters never win"];

self.quoteLabel.text = [self.quotes objectAtIndex:1];

}

@end

ahh you initialized the array with the wrong strings. you used 

@"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit", @"Quitters never win"

when you need to use

@"Haters gonna hate", @"Life is simple, not easy", @"Winners never quit, quitters never win"

the challenge engine let you pass with the incorrect strings for the second task (so the second object was @"Winners never quit..." and it was expecting the string to be @"Life is simple not easy" for the third task, which it wasnt. so fix the strings and it should work. also it does say to alloc and init the array (you used a NSArray literal, but it should work either way)
