Possible Duplicate:
What do the plus and minus signs mean in Objective C next to a method?

Since I have started programming in Objective C, I have been implementing methods like this:

-(void)doSomething

Recently, I saw this in a piece of source code:

+(void)doSomething

What is the difference between the + and the – and what is the +?

    The methods beginning with + are class methods; that is, they’re not called on actual objects (instances of a class), but rather on a class itself.
