What is wrong with my syntax?

When I check this code it tells me to "Make sure I'm adding all three items to the shopping list" what am I missing?

ViewController.h 
#import "UIViewController.h"

@interface ViewController : UIViewController

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *shoppingCart;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *shoppingList;

@end
ViewController.m 
#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // Add your code below!
    NSArray *shoppingList = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects: @"toothpaste", @"bread", @"eggs", nil];
}

@end

Hi Jimmy,

You're currently reassigning shoppingList as a local variable rather than assigning the NSArray instance to your class property, instead you want the following.

self.shoppingList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"toothpaste", @"bread", @"eggs", nil];

Happy coding!
