Memory leak in mutablearray allocation?

It is standard procedure that objects returned from methods (in your case, contactsArray) are autoreleased before returning. You could either return contactsArray autorelease or create it already autoreleased with NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:noOfPeople.

You need to release contactsArray manually somewhere, because it does not define autorelease.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
