[iPhone Dev]

1. Answer: Use X-Code to type in the following programs: Page 7 Program 2.1; Page 22 Program 2.2; Page 23 Program 2.3; Page 23 Program 2.4; Page Program 2.5.  Build/Run and see the output in the debug window at the bottom.  Change your view to display if no debug window is showing up.

2. Answer: Not really a question.

3. Answer: NSLog will display "Testing......1...2...3" in the debug window.

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

    @autoreleasepool {
       
        int a, b, answer;
       
        a = 15;
        b = 87;
       
        NSLog(@"The difference between %i and %i is %i", a, b, (b-a));

    }
    return 0;
}

5. Answer:
>  INT should be lowercase. 
>  "/* COMPUTE RESULT//" comment should be "//COMPUTE RESULT" or "/*COMPUTE RESULT */"
>"/DISPLAY RESULTS/" comment should be "//DISPLAY RESULT" or "/*DISPLAY RESULT*/"

6. Answer:  95  (100 - 10 +5)

This has really helped me a lot. I needed the answer for my current project. This forum is very informative.

Sorry, but isn't the answer:


2012-05-20 17:08:22.052 prog1[821:403] Testing...
2012-05-20 17:08:22.053 prog1[821:403] ....1
2012-05-20 17:08:22.054 prog1[821:403] ...2
2012-05-20 17:08:22.054 prog1[821:403] ...3


should not each line be on a separate line?

This is for the answer for exercise 3

Not to be picky but trying to understand the /n and the use of nslog numerous times, etc. can be confusing

[gene438]

For those anal for the exact answer to number 6:


2012-05-20 17:42:32.596 prog1[1235:403] The result is 95

6. Answer:  95  (100 - 10 +5)

Thanks for starting this out, but I found something that needs attention,

NO.3:

my output is:

2012-07-02 11:26:41.223 prog1[8011:403] Testing...
2012-07-02 11:26:41.224 prog1[8011:403] ....1
2012-07-02 11:26:41.225 prog1[8011:403] ...2
2012-07-02 11:26:41.225 prog1[8011:403] ..3

and on the no.4, in mathematics, it isn't grammatically correct:
                  NSLog(@"The difference between %i and %i is %i", a, b, (b-a));
Output:      "The difference between 15 and 87 is 72
If interpreted & performed in elementary mathematics, the result is -72.

Back to the instruction:
4. Write a program that subtracts the value 15 from 87 and displays the result, together with an "appropriate message".
Thus, the  "appropriate message" must be:
"The difference between 87 and 15 is 72"

Code: NSLog(@"The difference between %i and %i is %i", b, a, (b-a));

Are you sure this is the right answer or still it needs some more changes?

[Abraham Ortiz]

This code is not working. It gives error. Correct it...

For exercise 5 answers I've seen so far, there seems to be items missing on the list.  Here are the code mistakes I see:

-- INT should be lowercase
-- comment notation is wrong: should be either // @ the beginning or   /* <comment> */
-- there is a missing semicolon at the end of the statement where the variable sum is being initialized
-- another incorrect comment notation example...same answer as above for the other comment mistake.
-- NSLog text argument needs double quotes instead of the single quotes that are there.  There also is a missing comma between the two arguments    (the text string and the variable (sum).
