    copied!<p>Let me preface this question by saying that I believe it to be a memory management mistake on my end. I just can't seem to figure out why it is happening.</p> <p>I have a viewcontroller and a model class named <code>Part</code>. </p> <pre><code>#import &lt;Foundation/Foundation.h&gt; @interface Part : NSObject @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *name; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *partType; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *description; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSNumber *price; - (id)initWithName:(NSString *)name AndType:(NSString *)type; @end </code></pre> <p>In the view controller I have a property set as follows:</p> <pre><code>@property (nonatomic, strong) Part *part; </code></pre> <p>In the <code>init</code> function of <code>ViewController</code> I create some static arrays and create objects out of them:</p> <pre><code>- (id)init { self = [super init]; self.partList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; NSArray *inputArray = @[@"Part1", @"Part2", @"Part3", @"Part4", @"Part5", @"Part6", @"Part7", @"Part8"]; NSString *tempType = @"PartCategory"; // Add dummy static data for (int i = 0; i &lt; [inputArray count]; i++) { Part *partInput = [[Part alloc] initWithName:[inputArray objectAtIndex:i] AndType:tempType]; //partInput.name = [inputArray objectAtIndex:i]; //partInput.partType = tempType; NSLog(@"Inserting Part %@", partInput); [self.partList addObject:partInput]; } return self; } </code></pre> <p>The <code>NSLog</code> I call in that loop returns <code>Inserting Part *nil description*</code> for every part. I just can't track down what is happening here.</p> <p>EDIT: Here is the <code>initWithName</code> method from <code>Part</code> that the controller uses:</p> <pre><code>- (id)initWithName:(NSString *)name AndType:(NSString *)type { if(self = [super init]) { self.name = name; self.partType = type; } return self; } </code></pre>
