Instantiating a Class The new operator requires a single, postfix argument: a call to a constructor. The name of the constructor provides the name of the class to instantiate. The new operator returns a reference to the object it created.
Creating Instance Objects To create instances of a class, you call the class using class name and pass in whatever arguments its __init__ method accepts.
A function like Turtle or Point that creates a new object instance is called a constructor, and every class automatically provides a constructor function which is named the same as the class.
Apart from the standard [[MyClass alloc] init] pattern, some objects are built from static methods like MyClass *obj = [MyClass classWithString:@"blabla"]
According to widespread memory management guides (including Apple's), you're only responsible for releasing the objects that you alloc.
Can anyone provide me with a template for such methods? How do you return the allocated object ([self alloc]; return self;, perhaps)? How do you make sure that it will be released?
