How do I get the text value of an object in order to display it in a table? Other posts say objects are not NSStrings and you need to ask the object for its text. But how? The error is this: 

> 
> **\* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '\*** -[Names isEqualToString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xf51b60'
>

for this code in Objective-C:

```
NSString *cellValue = [namesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = cellValue;
return cell;

```

My apologies to all you advanced programers, I'm new at this and could not find the answer in the NSObject documentation either. Thanks.
