Well, if you're referring to question 1 in the code challenge the question doesn't ask you to initialize the array. It only want you to create it. When you create it without initializing it, its size automatically defaults to 0, until you add items to it. Therefore, you're output should be

NSMutableArray *elements = [NSMutableArray array];

Thanks Rashii. I figured it out. Your answer is probably write too. But this worked for me:

NSMutableArray *elements = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity: 0];

No problem. Its so many different ways to achieve results when you're coding so I'm just glad i was able to provide another solution.
