所谓copy

浅层复制：只复制指向对象的指针，而不复制引用对象本身。

深层复制：复制引用对象本身

copy和mutableCopy的区别在于它们的返回值是其中前者是不可变的类，后者是可变的类.

不管被复制的对象是不可变的还是可变的，copy的返回值类型始终是不可变类型。

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
   
    NSString *str1 = @"hello";
    NSString *str2 = [str1 copy];//指针copy
    NSString *str3 = [str1 mutableCopy];//深copy
    NSLog(@"str1 = %@  str1 = %p",str1,str1);
    NSLog(@"str2 = %@  str2 = %p",str2,str2);
    NSLog(@"str3 = %@  str3 = %p",str3,str3);
 
    NSMutableString *mutableStr2 = [str1 copy];//指针copy
    NSMutableString *mutableStr3 = [str1 mutableCopy];//深copy
    NSMutableString *mutableStr4 = [str1 mutableCopy];
    [mutableStr4 appendString:@"-OC"];
    NSLog(@"mutableStr2 = %@  mutableStr2 = %p",mutableStr2,mutableStr2);
    NSLog(@"mutableStr3 = %@  mutableStr3 = %p",mutableStr3,mutableStr3);
    NSLog(@"mutableStr4 = %@  mutableStr4 = %p",mutableStr4,mutableStr4);
    
    return 0;
}

此处特别给出了三次运行结果，可以看出mutableCopy每次复制的地址都不一样，他复制的地址是每次随机复制内存的地址，是深copy，Copy每次运行的结果都相同，都是 0x100001030，他只是指针的Copy，不管是NSString还是NSMutableString类型
