Why isn't this NSMutableArray getting populated?

I don't see an NSMutableArray alloc init anywhere. Sending a message to a null object is a no-op, so it's likely that those addObjects are being sent to a null and aren't doing anything.

That makes sense. I've conditioned myself to alloc as little as possible! But how come it worked with the manual arrays?

Is there something different about NSMutableArray addObject: as opposed to NSArray arrayWithObjects:? And doesn't the @property (nonatomic, retain) initialize them? I'll try alloc and init in viewDidLoad and then release them in dealloc... – Steve Aug 27 '10 at 2:34 1 @Steve, NSArray arrayWithObjects: is equal to NSArray alloc initWithObjects: autorelease.

– Steve Aug 27 '10 at 4:07 Most things are autoreleased unless the method names includes init, new, or copy. – Daniel Wood Aug 27 '10 at 16:40 there IS a reference of what is autoreleased, check: developer.apple. Com/mac/library/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/… – Leg10n Aug 27 '107 at 18:33.

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.
