Question

Is there any reason why the asterisk is next to the object type in this code? I’m a little confused by the way I see this used. Some times it looks like this:

NSString* stringBefore;

and sometimes like this:

NSString *stringBefore;

Is there a difference? Or a right or wrong way to do this?

Thanks

It makes no difference.

It just just an indicator to how well versed the author is in writing and reading Objective-C. The traditional standard is to write it as:

NSString *stringBefore;
