Objective-C is the main programming language used by Apple for the OS X and iOS operating systems and their respective APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.
It's is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language.
```Objective-C
// Single-line comments start with //
/*
Multi-line comments look like this.
*/
// Import headers with #import
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "SomeAppDelegate.h"
// Declare your class in a header(.h) file:
@interface UserObject : NSObject{
// instance variables
}
// Class method
+ (NSString*) ClassMethod;
// Instance method
- (NSString*) instanceMethodWithParmeter:(NSString*)string;
@end
// Add class methods in an implementation (.m) file:
@implementation UserObject
+ (NSString*) ClassMethod{
return @"SomeString";
}
- (NSString*) instanceMethodWithParmeter:(NSString*)string;
{
return [NSString stringWithString:string];
}
@end
// Create an object instance by allocating memory and initializing it. An object is not fully functional until both steps have been completed.
UserObject *someObject = [[UserObject alloc] init];
// The Objective-C model of object-oriented programming is based on message passing to object instances.
// In Objective-C one does not simply call a method; one sends a message.
[someObject instanceMethodWithParmeter@"Steve Jobs"];
```
