Answer 1

an implementation will often take this form:

@interface MONInteger : NSObject
{
@private
    int value;
}

@property (nonatomic, assign, readonly) int value;

@end

@implementation MONInteger
...
- (BOOL)isEqual:(id)object
{
    // MONInteger allows a comparison to NSNumber
    if ([object isKindOfClass:[NSNumber class]]) {
        NSNumber * other = object;
        return self.value == other.intValue;
    }
    else if (![object isKindOfClass:self.class]) {
        return NO;
    }
    MONInteger * other = object;
    return self.value == other.value;
}

@end
