1,814 PointsInitialize NSArray with three NSString objects. My code works in Xcode but is not evaluated as a correct solution here.
I have tested 3 different ways to initialize the NSArray with the 3 NSString objects. All three of my implementations work in Xcode but are not considered a "solution" to the quiz question.
I also tried:
NSArray *shoppingList = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"toothpaste", @"bread", @"eggs", nil];
and
NSArray *shoppingList = @[@"toothpaste", @"bread", @"eggs"];
What am I missing?
#import "UIViewController.h"
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
@property(nonatomic, strong)NSArray *shoppingList;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *shoppingCart;
@end```
ViewController.m
```#import "ViewController.h"
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Add your code below!
NSArray *shoppingList = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"toothpaste", @"bread", @"eggs", nil];
}
@end```

Courses Plus Student 56,696 PointsYou declared NSArray *shoppingList in the header file. In the implementation file you can access @property NSArray *shoppingList using the keyword self.
self.shoppingList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"toothpaste", @"bread", @"eggs", nil];
Hope this helps.

1,814 PointsI see, rather than accessing a property on on the view controller, I was creating a completely new NSArray and accessing items from that array. Thank you Jeremy!
