    <p>I have a Card Object, which have 4 instance variables namely name(NSString), pin(NSString), points(NSNumber), pointsToDeduct(NSMutableArray).</p> <p>Card.h</p> <pre><code>@interface Card : NSObject @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *name; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *pin; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSNumber *points; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *pointsToDeduct; @end </code></pre> <p>This pointsToDeduct array is always present for every new instance of Card I make. What I want is to fill it's values with another array's values which are static through a button click. But before that, in my code below, I cast those static values into an NSNumber so that the pointsToDeduct's values will be of type NSNumber. I'm thinking of delegation to do this though not sure if it's best. For now I want to access that pointsToDeduct array so I can add values in it.</p> <p>*this is part of PerksDetailsViewController.m</p> <pre><code>- (IBAction)redeemPressed:(id)sender { NSNumber *pointsRequired; NSNumberFormatter * formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; [formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle]; pointsRequired = [formatter numberFromString: (self.pointsLabel.text)]; NSLog(@"points required by the perk %@", pointsRequired); // now insert pointsRequired's value to pointsToDeduct array instance variable of a Card </code></pre> <p>Below are the other codes that I have.</p> <p>Main View CardWalletViewController.h</p> <pre><code>#import &lt;UIKit/UIKit.h&gt;

    1. COYou should only post code that is relevant to your question. By posting all your code like that you limit the number of answers you'll get since not many people will take the time to go through all of this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
