Question

I understand that the return value of UIColor initWithRed needs to be handled,
(see my previous question for reference.)

Now my question is, why would

UIView *myUIView = [UIView alloc];
[myUIView initWithFrame:myCGRect];

worked successfully. I didn’t handle the return value that initWithFrame returns!

Or did I just get it all wrong?

Answer 1

alloc and init has the same return value in this case. The init method just modifies the object created by alloc, so it returns the same object as alloc.
