Can someone tell me what the formal name for messages (such as floatValue
and makeKeyAndOrderFront) in objective-C are called.

In the statement "[foo doSomething];" doSomething is a "message". The compiler turns doSomething into an object called a "selector" which is sent to the object foo. Code that responds to the message represented by the selector is a "method".
