Since “id” is a keyword in Objective-C what alternative name do you use for ID variable (e.g. PK field)?
I think it should be noted that the compiler can distinguish between
idin the type specifier position andidin the variable name position. That is,will compile just fine (as, indeed, will
id id; id = [NSNumber numberWithInt:10];). (You could also uppercase it:ID.) That said, those are all horrible ideas. Don’t use them. Forget I even said that.The style in Cocoa programming is to tend towards verbosity, so (as all the earlier answers have suggested) the best practice is probably to write it all out:
identifierordinglehopferID.
