NSMutableArray addObject not working (adds nil pointer)?

From the code you've posted, everything looks fine. If you were overreleasing you wouldn't have nilled out pointers in the array, and you have two elements which makes sense seeing as you call addObject: twice. The one thing that might be wrong is your initialisation of the cycloneDatabase array.

Check you're initialising it correctly cycloneDatabase = NSMutableArray alloc init . I can't say I've ever seen this one before though.

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.
