Question

I am programming a hello world program and I’m new to Xcode. I followed the tutorial that was in the Apple developer website

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/xcode_quick_start/010-Tutorial_Using_Xcode_to_Write_Hello_World/hello_world_tutorial.html

When I tried to make a new file with Objective-C class in Cocoa for Mac OS X, it required the Class name while in the tutorial it was only saying “Subclass of NSView
(# 3 in the tutorial).

I put NSView and then clicked [Next] and now it is asking where to put the new file but not the name of the file. In the tutorial (# 4), there is “Save As HelloView.m.

What am I supposed to name the Class name? NSView.m or HelloView.m?

(I cannot post the snapshots because I’m new to stackoverflow….)

Answer 1

NSView is the name of the superclass so you don’t want to call your class that, so I would go for HelloView. Your class inherits all the functionality from its superclass, then it can add to or override this behaviour as it requires. HTH
