Question

Is there a general purpose function in Objective-C that I can plug into my project to simplify concatenating NSStrings and ints?

Answer 1

Both answers are correct. If you want to concatenate multiple strings and integers use NSMutableString’s appendFormat.

NSMutableString* aString = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@'String with one int %d', myInt];    // does not need to be released. Needs to be retained if you need to keep use it after the current function. [aString appendFormat:@'... now has another int: %d', myInt];
