Question

Learning basic Objective-C and have a few beginner questions.
How would I define and implement a method which takes two (or three) arguments within my class?
I find the syntax to pass multiple arguments into a method really confusing. I would really appreciate any help. thanks.

Answer 1

Here’s an example of a simple 2-argument method implementation:

-(int)myMethodThatMultipiesThisNumber:(int)x byThisOne:(int)y
{
    return x * y;
}

You would invoke it like:

int z = [myObject myMethodThatMultipliesThisNumber:6 byThisOne:9];

Is that what you’re looking for?

Edit: Based on your comment below, it seems like you’re missing a fundamental feature of Objective-C messaging – that the method name is interleaved with the arguments. Check out this page from The Objective-C Programming Language for all the detail you need.
