Obj-C Oddities
I never seem to find enough time to be in Obj-C land long enough to develop muscle memory so there are things that consistently get me. NSDictionary creation is backwards:
NSDictionary *stuff =
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"value1", @"key1",
@"value2", @"key2", nil];
In Ruby-land (where I’ve been for quite some time) it would be:
stuff = { :key1 => "value1", :key2 => "value2" }
Almost forgot!
I also almost always forget the nil at the end of an NSDictionary or NSArray declaration.
For instance:
NSArray *myList = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"foo", @"bar", @"baz", nil];I continually forget that trailing nil, but it should be obvious since C is under the covers after all.
