Print from Array

Question

I'm trying to get some data from an array and print it on a UILabel in Xcode, but I get the warning:

Incompatible pointer types assigning to 'NSString *' from 'NSArray *'

Here is my code:

NSError *myError = nil;
NSDictionary *res = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves  error:&myError];
NSArray *results =  [res objectForKey:@"current_observation"];
NSArray *cur = [results valueForKey:@"weather"];
NSArray *tmp = [results valueForKey:@"temp_c"];
NSLog(@"Current conditions: %@, %@º", cur, tmp);

temp.text = (@"%@", tmp);

The description method should never be used to show the result to the user. The description method is only to be used for debugging purposes. The output of the description method for any class is rarely documented and could change in the future. — rmaddy

@Supertecnoboff It depends on how you wish to format the contents of the array. The answer by Ahmed is one solution (though I would use a comma to separate the values instead of the empty string). — rmaddy

Instead of this:

temp.text = (@"%@", tmp);

Use this:

temp.text = [tmp componentsJoinedByString:@""];

By the way I figured out what was wrong. And this solution is obviously was better than using the description method as that may change. Thanks :)
