Methods   @interface Photo : NSObject {! ! }! ! - (void)printCaption;! ! @end   @implementation Photo! ! - (void)printCaption! {! NSLog(@"I have no caption!");! }! ! @end   class Photo { public function printCaption() { echo 'I have no caption!'; } } 

Methods   Photo *photo = [[Photo alloc] init];! [photo printCaption]; // prints "I have no caption!"! ! [photo release];   $photo = new Photo(); $photo->printCaption();

Methods  that  return  stuffs   @interface Photo : NSObject {!

Tip   You  can  call  methods  on  nil  objects.  The  method  call  will  just  do   nothing.  For  methods  that  return  something,  nil  will  be   returned.   Photo *photo = nil;! ! [photo printCaption]; // does nothing! ! NSString *caption = [photo caption]; // nil!

Inheritance   EpicPhoto *photo = [[EpicPhoto alloc] ! initWithCaption:@"Fart!"];! [photo printCaption];! ! [photo release];   $photo = new EpicPhoto('Fart!'); $photo->printCaption();   My  cap&on  is  Fart!  And  Fart!  Is  epic.   

Exercise   Create  a  base  class  named  FUser.  The  class  should  have  these  methods:     •  canCreateUsers  -­‐  returns  a  boolean  (BOOL)  with  value  NO.   •  fullName  -­‐  returns  a  concatenated  first  name  and  last  name.  Returns  an   NSString.     The  class  should  have  an  init  method  where  the  first  name  and  last  name  can  be   passed.     Create  a  subclass  of  FUser  and  name  it  FAdminUser.  The  method  -­‐canCreateUsers   of  FAdminUser  should  return  YES.  The  -­‐fullName  method  should  append  the   string  "  (Admin)"  when  returning   the  result.     Make  a  sample  usage  (NSLog)  in  your  app  delegate.
