Comparing two NSIntegers results in < nil > instead of false

Question

having a weird issue comparing two NSIntegers after doing a subtraction, any ideas why this comparison returns "< nil >" instead of false? I checked to make sure I had values for all variables in the debugger

    NSInteger totalPhotosLeft = self.totalPhotosInRoll - self.currentPhotosFetchedCount;
    if (self.enumerateCount < totalPhotosLeft) {
        ...//never goes here, comparison above always returns < nil >
    }

My properties

@property (nonatomic) NSInteger currentPhotosFetchedCount;
@property (nonatomic) NSInteger enumerateCount;
@property (nonatomic) NSInteger totalPhotosInRoll;

viewDidLoad

self.currentPhotosFetchedCount = 60;
self.enumerateCount = 15;
self.totalPhotosInRoll = 65;

When i check in the debugger: po self.enumerateCount < totalPhotsLeft I get "" — yoshyosh, Aug 14 '14 at 17:21
Use `p self.enumerateCount < totalPhotsLeft`. `po` is for `print object`. This isn't an object. — rmaddy, Aug 14 '14 at 17:29

While debugging I was using po instead of p. po is for printing out objects, p is for printing out in general.

Thanks to @rmaddy for figuring that out so quickly
