Two Alert Views in One View Controller - buttonIndex Response

Question

I am trying to perform the smile task of having two alerts in a single View Controller. The code below works fine, but how would I make another instance of it elsewhere in the View Controller. I am concerned that if I duplicated the code, my buttonIndex would not know which alert it is responding to. Any ideas? Thanks!

-(void)alertChoice
{
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title"
    message:@"Message" delegate:self
    cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Confirm", nil];
    [alert show];
}

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if (buttonIndex == 1) 
    {
    //do something
    }
}

You can use the tag property on UIAlertView to decipher which alert is which:

-(void)alertChoice
{
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title"
    message:@"Message" delegate:self
    cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Confirm", nil];
    alert.tag = 0;
    [alert show];
}

-(void)alertChoice1
{
    UIAlertView *alert1 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title"
    message:@"Message" delegate:self
    cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Confirm", nil];
    alert1.tag = 1;
    [alert1 show];
}

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if(alertView.tag == 0)
    {
    }
}
