This is done in Objective-C using a "retain" counting system that allows an object to delete itself when it is no longer needed. To ask an object in Objective-C to remain one simply calls retain().

Sorry to be overly pedantic here, but in Objective-C, you send -retain, you don't call retain(). In Obj-C, we don't call methods, we send messages. The runtime calls methods after looking up the message.
