So I’m creating a new file, a subclass of a UIViewController via the Xcode wizard that pops up through new > file.
I’m naming the file “747ViewController” and it spits out the .h/.m files fine.
However inside the files, the interface and implementation names are odd:
They show up as @interface _47ViewController : UIViewController and @implementation _47ViewController
Are you not allowed to start with a number or something? Should I leave it or rename it to what I want it? Thanks
That’s correct: just like in C and C++ your identifiers can not start with a number. The workaround from Xcode is correct: Unlike Java, the source file name and the class name do not have to be the same.
