【Objective C Day 1】HelloTheWorld&BOOL Type

QFord:

First , I would like to introduce you a good tutorial : Learn Objective C on  Mac .

All materials I wrote here base on this book !(QFord@QQ.COM)

I : Hello, the world !

 #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> int main (int argc, const char *argv[]) { NSLog (@"Hello,the world!"); return (0); } // main

 

1:Xcode uses the .m extension to indicate a file that holds  Objective- C code

 

2: #import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

 Objective- C uses header files to hold the declarations of elements such as
structs, symbolic constants, and function prototypes. 

The #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> statement tells the compiler to look at the
Foundation.h header file in the Foundation framework.

 

3:NSLog just like printf in c ,but it  supports ouput NSString.

As you can see here , at sigh before a string ,it indicates a NSString . 

 

II :BOOL type

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> // returns NO if the two integers have the same // value, YES otherwise BOOL areIntsDifferent (int thing1, int thing2) { if (thing1 == thing2) { return (NO); } else { return (YES); } } // areIntsDifferent // given a YES value, return the human- readable // string "YES". Otherwise return "NO" NSString *boolString (BOOL yesNo) { if (yesNo == NO) { return (@"NO"); } else { return (@"YES"); } } // boolString int main (int argc, const char *argv[]) { BOOL areTheyDifferent; areTheyDifferent = areIntsDifferent (5, 5); NSLog (@"are %d and %d different? %@", 5, 5, boolString(areTheyDifferent)); areTheyDifferent = areIntsDifferent (23, 42); NSLog (@"are %d and %d different? %@", 23, 42, boolString(areTheyDifferent)); return (0); } // main

 

1:The areIntsDifferent() function

It  takes two integer parameters and returns a BOOL value. The syntax should be familiar to you from your C experience.

Objc has 2 BOOL value : YES & NO

 

 

2:The boolString() function

It  maps a numeric BOOL value to a string that’s readable by mere humans

Notice that the return type of boolString() is a pointer to an NSString.

 

3:The main() function

You can see that the two fives will replace the two %d format placeholders in our call to NSLog().

 

At the end of the string we’re giving to NSLog(), you see another at sign. This time, it’s %@.
What’s that all about? boolString() returns an NSString pointer. printf() has no idea
how to work with an NSString, so there is no a format specifier we can use. The makers of
NSLog() added the %@ format specifier to instruct NSLog() to take the appropriate argu-
ment, treat it as an NSString, use the characters from that string, and send it out to the
console.
