Question

I have several methods, like below:

- (void)methodA;
- (void)methodB;
- (void)methodC;

and they are used depending on some conditions.

Now I want to dynamically use them, and I tried this:

NSString *methodName;
if(_flag == A) methodName = @"methodA";
else if (_flag == b) methodName = @"methodB";
else methodName = @"methodC";

[self performSelector:@selector(methodName)];

but it seems wrong.

So how should I use a dynamic method name for a given receiver depending on different situations?

Thanks a lot!

Use this instead:

[self performSelector:NSSelectorFromString(methodName)]
