Query in first challenge in app development for blog reader with Master details template.

HI For below challenge :

Create an array named 'booksArray' with the following book titles: 'Hamlet', 'King Lear', 'Othello', 'Macbeth'.

I have written code lines as

self.booksArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hamlet", @"King Lear", @"Othello", @"Macbeth", nil]; This is same as shown in tutorial and working in xcode too. But, not in editor shown in the challenge. It asks me to check variable name. Has anyone faced this? I am not able to proceed further due to this issue. Please help.

arrays.mm 
self.booksArray  = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hamlet", @"King Lear", @"Othello", @"Macbeth", nil];

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

You wouldn't use self in this situation as self has not yet been defined. Just wants you to create a new array.
