Question

I have an NSMutableArray which is storing a list of other arrays. And when i run the code.

NSLog(@"%@",[[appDelegate teamRoster]objectAtIndex:[indexPath.row]class])

It returns and tells me that i am looking at an Array,

however when i try to do the following

[selectedRowerView tempArray] = [[appDelegate teamRoster]objectAtIndex:[indexPath.row]];

The program errors out. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

Answer 1

You have to understand that [selectedRowerView tempArray] is actually a command / message that is being sent. In C++ equivalent, you are calling selectedRowerView->tempArray() = .... Which doesn’t make logical sense because you cannot make an assignment to a function.

What you’re trying to do is set the tempArray. If you have the proper setters/getters set-up, you can just run: selectedRowerView.tempArray = ...;

Just make sure that tempArray has a @property and is @synthesize‘d.
