small questions

1. I see %f is for float, %@ is for string. Is %d for anything? Which % is for double? Which % is for BOOL?

2. What is the different between double and float? When I put

   float flow=-8.1234567890123456789; //4 bytes floating point
   double dobble=-8.1234567890123456789;  //8 bytes floating point
   NSLog(@"flow is %f and dobble is %f", flow, dobble);
   

   The output is the same for flow and dobble.

3. I can write "int a, b;" to declare two ints. Why can't I write "NSString* personOne, personTwo;"?

4. How do I declare a bitwise variable and manipulate it with &=, <<, ^?

FIVE. To create my own class, is the following correct?

(i) I create a header file Myclass.h where I declare the class, the variables it holds, and the methods I want to make for it.
(ii) I create an Obj-C (not sure what you call this one) file Myclass.m where I write the code for the methods defined in Myclass.h.
(iii) In my regular Obj-C program, which is named program.m, I #import "Myclass.h" and then I am free to start using my class!

1. NSLog works much like printf; %d is for integers, %f and %F work for both floating point types, and BOOL is just an integer, so use %d.

2. double can handle more precision; try a number with more digits.

3. That's how the language works; you have to write NSString *personOne, *personTwo;. It might help to think of "pointer-ness" as a property of the variable, not the type.

4. Any integer type will do, like int i = 23; i <<= 2; should leave 92 in i.

Also %@ is for pointers. Which means any class that implements - (NSString *)description will have a meaningful output.
