Question

When inside an instance method, I can refer to the instance’s class via [self class], so I don’t have to write [MyClass class] explicitly.

How would I achieve the equivalent inside a class method? There is obviously no self defined in that context…

Answer 1

self is defined inside a class method, but it refers to the class itself rather than to an instance of the class. So, in a class method, just use self instead of [self class].
