Building a music library model using NSDictionary

Question

Hi, I am stuck on the below task. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Now that we have a chocolate box, let’s add some chocolates. We’re going to represent a single chocolate as an NSDictionary instance. Create an instance of NSDictionary, named caramelDelight and instantiate with the string flavor as a key and the string caramel as its value. Next, store the caramelDelight dictionary in the chocolateBox array.

GiftBasket.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface GiftBasket : NSObject

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *chocolateBox;

@end

GiftBasket.m

#import "GiftBasket.h"

@implementation GiftBasket

- (instancetype)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        //Add your code below
    }
    return self;
}

@end

You got the property, great, now add the NSDictionary instance called caramelDelight, this is how we do it:

NSDictionary *caramelDelight  = @{@"flavor": @"caramel"};

the flavor is the key followed by a : then we insert the value which is caramel

to store the caramelDelight in the chocolateBox array we use the following syntax.

self.chocolateBox = @[caramelDelight];

import "GiftBasket.h"

@implementation GiftBasket

(instancetype)init { self = [super init]; if (self) { //Add your code below NSDictionary *caramelDelight = @{@"flavor":@"caramel"}; _chocolateBox = @[caramelDelight]; } return self; }

@end
