The following only executes once. Why is it, when repeat is set to YES?

NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:1/3 target:self 
 selector:@selector(updateThingsRepeatedly:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

[timer fire];

If i understand things right, updateThingsRepeatedly method should be called every 1/3 of a second repeatedly. Is this not correct?

It does call the method once, however, but does not start a loop, as i would expect.

    Use -scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:target:selector:userInfo:repeats:, and do not call -fire.

    And use floating point numbers for your time interval. I.e., 1.0/3.0.
