Question

I’m a total newbie at Objective-C, so bear with me. This is how I’m concatenating my URL:

id url      = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://blahblah.com/gradient.jpg"];
id image    = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
id tiff     = [image TIFFRepresentation];

NSString *docsDir = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:  @"Desktop"];
NSString *fileToWrite = @"/test.tiff";
NSString *fullPath = [docsDir stringByAppendingString:fileToWrite];

[tiff writeToFile:fullPath atomically:YES];

It works, but it seems sloppy. Is this the ideal way of doing concatenating NSStrings?

Answer 1

stringByAppendingString: or stringWithFormat: pretty much is the way.
