Not exactly Objective-C pseudo-source, is it? :D -- l0ne aka EmanueleVulcano

Well, it's Aaron Hillegass, not Hillgrass. ;-) At any rate, perhaps this 'code' will work better for you ...

CocoaBook * book = [[CocoaBook bookWithAuthors:@"Anguish", "Hillegass", nil] retain];
[learnedSubjects addSubject:[book study]];
myHome = @"Austin, TX";
myHope = [possibleHopes objectForKeyPath:@"applications.tiger.homeandsoho"];
myEmail = @"steve_cronin@mac.com";

The only thing I can't figure out is what you intend to do with all of these variables ... Indeed it is wise to add objects to your learnedSubjects container, however, I'm baffled by your compulsion to send multiple -study messages to your CocoaBook? instance. As long as your Brain is properly initialized, and book is a valid pointer, you should only need to call study once per session. Of course, since learnedSubjects, unlike most containers, does not automatically retain its subjects, you must make sure you take steps to retain it yourself (see example above) otherwise you may have to send -study again. At any rate, good luck with your code! - JNozzi
