How to use NSRange [duplicate]

Question

I am using NSRange with an Attributed string, but I don't fully understand which parts of the text will be bolded and which are not. This is what I tried:

NSRange boldedRange = NSMakeRange(2, 4);

What exactly does the 2 stand for and the 4 stand for?

Thanks in advance for anyone who contributes to this post

Answer 1

It says as:

NSMakeRange(<#NSUInteger loc#>, <#NSUInteger len#>)

So in your case:

NSRange boldedRange = NSMakeRange(2, 4);

2 is the starting location.

4 is the character count till what it will use.

Ex. If you use boldedRange on TYPEWRITER, it will change it to TYPEWRITER
