OK don't laugh. I'm a RPG programmer (No, that doesn't stand for the
game type.) with about 3 months of tinkering in C. This Cocoa stuff
looks pretty sexy so I did the CurrencyConverter. (It only took 3
attempts.) So now it's working and I get the bright idea that I want the
total returned rounded to the nearest cent. Using Help, I find the Class
NSRoundingMode along with a method(?) -roundingMode. I also saw it
formatted like this: - (NSRoundingMode)roundingMode. These guys seem to
be sub classes of NSDecimal. So I was pretty excited, until it slowly
dawned on me that I had NO idea how to use the thing.
In the RPG world I have the luxury of documentation that treats you like
an idiot, thus making it pretty easy to figure out how something is
used. (To be fair, the constructs are pretty rudimentary.) Not so with
these classes.
While it would be cool if someone were to throw me a snippit of code. In
the long run, I think it would be more helpful if some one could
explain, in say 1000 words or less :)), how classes, in general, are
implemented. (If that's even possible.) Another approach would be to
point me to an article or what ever that already has a 1000 words
written on this.
After I send this off, I'm heading over to Vt Recipies to start that
track.
(Despite all, It's a cool environment.
