Question

I have a custom “brain” class that has a custom “recipe” object as one of it’s properties.

The recipe class has four “ingredient” objects as properties.

If I try and do:

brain.myRecipe.ingredient1 = myIngredient;
self.displayLabel.text = brain.myRecipe.ingredient1.ingredientName;

The label is blank (although I get no errors)

but if I do

Ingredient * temp = myIngredient;
self.displayLabel.text = temp.ingredientName;

That one works… Are you not able to drill down through properties like that with the dot operator?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, you can do that with the dot operator. Most likely one of those properties is nil.
