Trying to create an instance of UIImage...help please!

Hello, I'm trying to create an instance of UIImage called 'image' for this exercise but the editor is not letting me pass this challenge. Here is my code:

cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@“placeholder.png"];

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance,

Regards

the task is Create an instance of UIImage called 'image' given the name of the image is 'placeholder.png'.

you need to create a new instance called image, not modify an exisiting property of your cells image view. 

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"];

that creates a new UIImage object. technically your code is correct, however the challenge expects you to do the same thing in 2 steps, not one.
