Question

I’ve written one ages ago but I can’t find it now.

How do you create a creator function for a class that uses the same syntax as [NSArray array];?

i.e.

+ (id)object;

Instead of…

- (id)initWithBlah...

Thanks

It’s called a constructor and a typical implementation may be

+ (NSArray *)array
{
    return [[[self alloc] init] autorelease];
}
