Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie Objective-C developer, been studying it for about 3 weeks now, and I've got a question.

When declaring an object such as NSComparisonResult you don't do so using the * sign, yet you do use the * sign when declaring things such as NSString.

Is that simply because NSComparisonResult returns a constant, whereas NSString is a class? So anytime you declare a "class" variable you have to use the indirection operator?

Thanks very much for your assistance.

NSComparisonResult is just an integer, not an object, hence there's no need to declare it as a pointer.

I actually found the answer in the book I'm studying shortly after putting the post up. Thanks!
