    Methods prefixed with - are instance methods. This means they can only be invoked on an instance of a class, eg:

    [myStringInstance length];
    

    Methods prefixed with + are class methods. This means they can be called on Classes, without needing an instance, eg:

    [NSString stringWithString:@"Hello World"];
