Hi igor
this is strange I have a dictionary whose array contains nil and still isHealthy returns true. can an array of a dictionary contains nil?
no, it can't . And how you end up with dictionary which having array = nil? During initialization, it allocates and initializes array, so, normally, there is no way how it could be nil. Ehm, the array can _contain_ nil(the empty slot marker) (and it will in all cases, if it's working correctly), it cannot _be_ nil though.
isHealthy has nothing to do with this though, it checks if all elements (non-nil entries in the array) are at positions which are valid. Cheers, Henry
