Question

If I have a method that returns a BOOL, how do I cast that to an NSString so I can print it out in console?

For example, I tried doing this, which isn’t working:

NSLog(@'Is Kind of NSString:', ([thing isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) ? @'YES' : @'NO'); 

But I really want to actually turn the return value into an NSString. I know it’s a primitive data type, so I can’t call methods on it. Do I have to create a string separately and then use the Bool as a parameter in a method on NSString?

You need a formatting specifier in your format string:

NSLog(@'Is Kind of NSString: %@', ([thing isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) ? @'YES' : @'NO');
