Hi all, brand new to these forums so I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong place.

I am brand new to Objective-C programming and teaching myself using Objective-C for absolute beginners (which demonstrates and earlier version of Xcode and working on Xcode 4.3.3 (probably part of the problem) and various sources on the web. I have become stuck on an exercise where I am getting the exception(lldb) and have no idea where I am going wrong. I get a build succeed then the error.
code as follows:

[#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{

    @autoreleasepool {
        
        // insert code here...
        NSMutableArray *bookList = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Moby Dick",@"Frankenstein", @"Tom Sawyer",nil]; 
                             
        int count;
        count= bookList.count;
        for (int y=0;y<count;y++) 
        {
            NSLog(@"Book Title is %@", [bookList objectAtIndex:y]);
            
            [bookList addObject:(@"Huckleberry Finn")];  
                                        
        }
    
    return 0;
    }}
]
and the console reads:
[2012-08-21 15:37:56.445 Comparison[1142:403] Book Title is Moby Dick

)
terminate called throwing an exception(lldb) 
]

again apologies for the very simplistic problem - any guidance will be greatly appreciated..

You have to use the NSMutableArray initializer, otherwise you can't resize it.

NSMutableArray *booklist = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects: ...];

That sorted it many thanks GWatt!

Thanks for the help.
