My challenge is that I don't know what this means or how to convert this into actual code. So I have to keep guessing which surely can't be the preferred way to learn!


What you're looking at is an Objective-C method declaration. You're going to have to know how to write these as well as read them, so you should carefully read the "Class Interface" section of the "Defining a Class" chapter of the "Objective-C Language Guide", which explains method declarations in detail.
