IOS外部变量(Extern)的用法

在这里做了一个Demo,ViewController声明外部变量并使用,ExternViewController负责修改外部变量的值

ViewController.m

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "ExternViewController.h"

NSString *externString = @"234";

@interface ViewController ()
@end

@implementation ViewController
//在这里声明外部变量也可以

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
    [button setTitle:@"To ExternViewController" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];
    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonAct) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:button];
}
- (void)buttonAct
{
    ExternViewController *view = [[ExternViewController alloc]init];
    [self presentViewController:view animated:YES completion:^{
        
    }];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    NSLog(@"ViewController externString:%@",externString);
}
@end

ExternViewController.m

#import "ExternViewController.h"

extern NSString *externString;

@interface ExternViewController ()
@end

@implementation ExternViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    
    NSLog(@"get externString value:%@",externString);
    
    externString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",arc4random_uniform(1000)];
    
    NSLog(@"ExternViewController exchange externString value:%@",externString);
    
    UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
    [button setTitle:@"Back" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonAct) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:button];
}
- (void)buttonAct
{
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
        
    }];
}
@end
