Question: So, I'm trying to set the value of `NSString` in one class, and then, call that `NSString` in another class and load it into a label.

I have declared the string in `Class A` as a nonatomic, retained property. In one method, I set the value of the string.

In `Class B`, I import `Class A`, alloc, and init `Class A`, and then I try to set the label text with:

```
ClassA *classA = [[ClassA alloc] init];
label.text = classA.string

```

However, every time I do this, the label remains blank.

So, why is my property not retaining the value I assign it in the method? The `NSString` gets it's value in a tableView `didSelectRowAtIndexPath` method.

Thanks!

**EDIT** I realize I made a mistake while typing the code snippet above, and I left out the property "string" on the object "classA". Forgive me. The comments below were somewhat unnecessary, but thank you for pointing out my mistake. For the record, I know how objects, classes, and properties work.

Answer: 
If it's a property, you should be able to do it by saying `label.text = classA.propertyName` (whatever you named your property.) 

For example let's say in `ClassA` that you created `NSString` `*stringToOutput`, then in `Class B` after instantiating `Class A`, you'd state that `label.text = classA.stringToOutput`.

Hope that helped!
`label.text = classA.somePropertyThatIsAString;`
