Question

I wrote this code in my viewDidLoad function in my iOS project.

lettersLeftLabel.text = @"ABCDEFGH\nIJKLMNOP\nQRSTUVWX\nYZ";

lettersLeftLabel is a text label.

However, no newlines appear. Why?

Also, lettersLeftLabel.text apparently cannot be an integer either:

lettersLeftLabel.text = myIntegerValue;

fails too. How come?

Answer 1

Put your code in viewDidAppear instead.

Of course you cannot assign a int to a NSString*. To do that you must do something like

lettersLeftLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",myIntegerValue];
