Exercise 3

Code: (Objective-C)

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{

    @autoreleasepool {
        
        // insert code here...
        
        // Create initial dictionary //
        NSMutableDictionary *states = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
        [states setObject:[NSMutableString stringWithString:@"CapitalA"] forKey:@"StateA"];
        [states setObject:[NSMutableString stringWithString:@"CapitalB"] forKey:@"StateB"];
        [states setObject:[NSMutableString stringWithString:@"CapitalC"] forKey:@"StateC"]; 
        
        // Create both immutable and mutable copy //
        NSDictionary *statesImCopy = [states copy];
        NSMutableDictionary *statesMCopy = [states mutableCopy];
        
        
        // Retrieve the first object from initial dictionary //  
        NSMutableString *object1 = [states objectForKey:@"StateA"];
        // Adjust this particular object // 
        [object1 setString:@"CapitalAAA"];
        
        // Display initial dictionary //
        NSLog(@"Initial: %@", states);
        // Display both copies //
        NSLog(@"Immutable copy: %@", statesImCopy);
        NSLog(@"Mutable copy: %@", statesMCopy);
        
        
    }
    return 0;
}

The above shows that the first object in both copies are also changed, therefore: shallow copy
