Question

Can anyone help me with my the code below. It looks right to me, but the last statement causes an exception. All I’m trying to do is create an NSPredicate to use with an NSFetchRequest.
The “Array” variable below has these four objects according to the debugger:

Array   =   (__NSArrayI *)  0x6b930e0   4 objects
0   =   (__NSCFConstantString *)    0x4067c String1
1   =   (__NSCFConstantString *)    0x408ac String2
2   =   (__NSCFConstantString *)    0x408bc String3
3   =   (__NSCFConstantString *)    0x408cc String4


// Defines from header file  
#define ATT_NODE_LEVEL      @"nodeLevel"
#define NODE_LVL2           4

-(BOOL)initLVL2{  
    NSString *cond = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"parent.fullName"];

    /*   CAUSES AN EXCEPTION    */  
    NSPredicate *pred = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(%K == &@) && (%K == %@)", ATT_NODE_LEVEL, [NSNumber numberWithInt:NODE_LVL2], cond, [Array objectAtIndex:0]]; 
...
}

Debugger output:

Answer 1

Your predicate format string has a &@ token for an NSNumber. Change it to %@.
