Question

Very confused here…

I have a NSObject subclass called “Section” with a NSMutableArray property called “content”

 Section *sectionName = [[Section alloc] init];
 [[sectionName content] addObject:@"test"];
 [[sectionName content] addObject:@"test2"];
 [[sectionName content] addObject:@"test3"];

 NSLog(@"COUNT IS %i", [[sectionName content] count]);

Why is my NSLOG showing “COUNT IS 0”??

Answer 1

Are you initializing content in your subclass? If not, that can be the problem!

Your init method should look like this:

- (id)init
{
    if (self = [super init])
    {
      _content = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    }
    return self;
}

If you’re not using ARC your dealloc should look like this:

- (void)dealloc
{
  [_content release];
  [super dealloc];
}
