I don't understand what is wrong with my code. The task requires me to create an array named 'booksArray' and pass it the values that I've given it. I'm only getting an error which tells me to check my syntax or variable name.
NSArray *booksArray = @[@"Hamlet", "King Lear", @"Othello", @"Macbeth", nil];

NSArray *booksArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Hamlet", @"King Lear", @"Othello", @"Macbeth", nil];

NSArray *booksArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Hamlet", @"King Lear", @"Othello", @"Macbeth", nil];

15,612 PointsAh yes, thank you. Managed to pass it with your code although I tried using several different approaches including this one prior to asking a question.
