Question

What is the right way to get an NSString object from an NSArray, keeping Memory Managment in mind.

Suppose I have an array

NSArray *myNewArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:.......];

Now I want to get an object from this NSArray at index 2.

NSString *nameString = [myNewArray objectAtIndex:2]; // is it the right way? how to deal with "nameString" 
                                                     // now regarding memory managment, should I release it ?

OR I should first alloc nameString and then assign value to it ?

Answer 1

NSArray *myNewArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:.......];
NSString *nameString = [myNewArray objectAtIndex:2]
[myArray release];

That’s it, no need to bother any more with it. NSString will be released by environment itself.
