Objective C. Is my code right?

Post Reply New Topic

I have the following code:

For some reason it is only going up to 2.
Why is this?
Im sorry if this is an obvious mistake, im really tired, so im not thinking too clearly.

because var is a local variable which falls out of scope after the call to NSLog.

But I have done this before successfully (The variable is not named var.That was an example).
What would be the correct way?

The name doesn't matter. What matters is that it is declared inside a method and falls out of scope as soon as program flow returns from that method (the stack frame in which it resides is obliterated, not to be recreated until the next call to your method).

I'm not sure of your exact circumstances, but if your object is persistent, I would just declare an instance variable for your counter in the same class where you declare that method. Instance variables maintain their value until the object in which they reside is destroyed.

Declare var in your interface file. Don't declare it on a local scope if you don't want it to become non-existant past that local scope. You could also declare it as static or declare it globally.

And set it to one when you declare it, or in ...didLoad... - not in the same method that you're adding one to it.
